Description - A spacious Edwardian semi-detached house (circa 1912) with driveway and long rear garden.

This characterful property is ready for renovation and offers excellent potential for conversion—subject to planning permission—including the loft space. It would suit use as an HMO let or as a large family home.

Currently arranged as either four or five double bedrooms (depending on whether a dining room is required), the house boasts generously proportioned rooms and tall ceilings. It has retained many of its original Edwardian features, having been owned by the current family for over 30 years.

Outside - The front garden includes parking for multiple cars, with potential to convert more of the front garden into additional off-street parking. The house is accessed via an external porch.
The plot measures approximately 280 feet from the road to the back boundary (subject to survey). A private side path with gate provides access to the rear garden.
The large rear garden features a patio area, lawn, and a further concreted section. Approximately half the garden is regularly maintained; the rear portion—separated by a gate—has been left to nature. A breeze-block shed requiring renovation sits around the halfway point.-
