Description

This end-terraced three-bedroom period property presents a substantial opportunity for renovation in a desirable area of the South West. The home spans multiple levels and features a well-defined traditional layout that is ready for a complete transformation. Upon entry, you will find a spacious living room leading to a separate dining area, both of which carry the charm of original architecture but require modern updates throughout. The rear kitchen, functional yet dated, offers significant potential for redesign; whether envisioning an open-plan space or a contemporary kitchen/dining area, the possibilities are abundant. A ground floor bathroom also awaits a full refurbishment to enhance usability and aesthetic appeal. Moving upstairs, the first floor houses three generously sized bedrooms that allow for flexible use and reconfiguration according to personal needs. While they maintain good proportions, they too would benefit from complete modernisation. The family bathroom on this level requires replacement as well. The second floor accommodates an attic space currently serving as a bedroom, although it cannot be legally marketed as one due to building regulations. This room adds versatility and could be improved through necessary works, providing further enhancement to the property's utility and value. This property is being sold with no forward chain, making it an ideal project for investors or those looking to create their dream home by capitalising on its extensive renovation potential.
