Description

This charming bay-fronted property presents a valuable opportunity for investors and buyers eager to inject their personal style into a home. Although it requires modernization, the layout provides ample potential for extensions (subject to planning permission). The home features a well-sized rear garden predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by established shrubs and a patio area perfect for outdoor use. Additionally, there is a front driveway that allows off-road parking leading to a garage. Inside, the entrance hall welcomes you with a double glazed composite door, leading into spacious reception areas including both lounge and dining sections connected by an elegant archway. The conservatory at the rear allows for natural light and access to the garden. The kitchen is functional but could benefit from updating while offering space for essential appliances. The first floor hosts three bedrooms—two with fitted wardrobes—and a bathroom along with a separate WC. This property is conveniently located near Locksbottom and Crofton amenities as well as excellent schools, making it ideal for families or those looking to enhance its value through renovation.
