Description

This charming double fronted terraced house is now available for the first time since 1932, presenting a unique opportunity for buyers interested in renovation and investment. Retaining many original features, the property comprises an entrance hallway, a formal dining room with character, a spacious reception area, and a galley kitchen that offers modernisation potential. The first floor accommodates two generously sized double bedrooms and a single bedroom, alongside a shower room and separate WC. With significant potential for extension at both the rear and loft (subject to planning consent), this home allows future owners to enhance its living space to meet contemporary standards while preserving its historic charm. The mature garden stretches approximately 75 feet and features established shrub borders, a patio area, as well as a detached garage and workshop which provide extra utility. Situated on Babbacombe Gardens—a quiet yet desirable street—this property benefits from close proximity to transport links, local amenities, and reputable schools such as Beal High School. This is an excellent opportunity to create your ideal family home in a highly sought-after location with ample scope for renovation.
