Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached property presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a complete refurbishment project. The ground floor includes a welcoming hall that leads into a reasonably sized living room measuring approximately 12ft by 8ft, alongside an 11ft by 11ft dining room. The kitchen, featuring pantry cupboards, is functional yet ripe for modernisation, complemented by a conveniently located ground floor bathroom. Upstairs, you will find a spacious landing granting access to three generously sized double bedrooms, each equipped with built-in storage. Externally, the property boasts a substantial rear garden measuring around 65ft by 39ft, offering ample scope for extension at the rear (subject to obtaining necessary planning permission). Additional features include two external storage cupboards and side access to the front of the house. The front garden is enclosed with potential for conversion into off-street parking, as seen in neighbouring properties. On-street parking is also available on a first-come-first-served basis. Situated in a quiet area of Kempston, the location offers convenient access to local schools such as Balliol Primary and Kempston Academy as well as nearby shops and parks. Public transport links are readily available, providing easy commutes to local amenities including a Sainsbury's supermarket and recreational areas alongside the River Great Ouse. This property is ideal for buyers looking to invest in renovation potential and create their dream home.
