Description

FOR SALE VIA AUCTION! Situated within the sought-after Gore Hill Estate in Thornley, this three-bedroom semi-detached property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a home. Offered with no onward chain, the house provides generous living accommodation, a spacious layout and the benefit of a south/west facing rear garden, making it a perfect option for those seeking both potential and convenience.


To the front of the property, a block-paved area provides a neat and practical entrance approach. Stepping inside, the hallway welcomes you with stairs rising to the first-floor landing and doors leading to the main living areas. The living room sits to the front of the house, a bright and comfortable space that offers plenty of potential for modernisation. To the rear, the heart of the home is an impressive 18ft kitchen and dining area, providing ample room for family meals and entertaining. From here, there is access to a utility room which leads directly to a useful downstairs w/c, as well as a storage cupboard and a door opening out into the rear garden.


On the first floor, the landing gives access to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering a good amount of natural light. Completing the upper level are a separate w/c and a shower room, which could be updated and reconfigured to suit modern family living.


Externally, the property benefits from a generous south/west facing rear garden, an enviable feature that captures the afternoon and evening sun, making it ideal for outdoor relaxation, gardening or entertaining during the warmer months.


While the property would benefit from updating and refurbishment throughout, it offers fantastic potential for buyers to create a stylish family home in a popular residential location. With its spacious layout, excellent garden orientation and the advantage of no onward chain, this semi-detached house in Gore Hill Estate represents an exciting opportunity not to be missed.
