Description

This substantial terraced property is conveniently located close to a range of local amenities and is just a few minutes from BAE Systems, the area’s largest employer, making it an ideal choice for commuters and families alike. Offering significant scope for modernisation and improvement, the property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to create a spacious home tailored to their own requirements and style.

To the front, the property benefits from an enclosed forecourt area leading to the main entrance. Inside, a vestibule opens into a welcoming hallway with a staircase rising ahead and access to two well-proportioned reception rooms. The front lounge is particularly light and airy, featuring a large bay window, decorative coving to the ceiling, and a traditional focal fireplace. The second reception room serves as a dining room and sits conveniently adjacent to the kitchen, making it ideal for family living and entertaining. This room also features a fireplace with open-fronted gas fire and attractive picture rail detailing, along with access to useful under-stairs storage.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units providing ample storage, complemented by work surfaces with an inset sink, and space for a freestanding cooker and washing machine. Additional built-in cupboards further enhance practicality. Beyond the kitchen is a separate freezer room, offering further storage and space for a tumble dryer. From here, an external door opens onto a spacious enclosed rear yard, and there is also access to a wet room fitted with a WC and wash hand basin, complete with a small window providing natural light and ventilation.

On the first floor, the landing leads to two generously sized bedrooms, with the main bedroom positioned at the front of the property and offering excellent proportions. The second bedroom has been adapted to incorporate a shower area within the room alongside a WC, providing flexible accommodation. Continuing to the upper floor, a further landing gives access to a family bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite comprising bath, WC, and wash hand basin. A skylight set into the roof slope provides natural light and ventilation, and there is access to the loft space via a narrow doorway.

The top floor also offers two additional bedrooms, including a single and a double, both benefiting from dormer-style windows to the front elevation, creating useful and characterful accommodation. While the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation throughout, it already offers generous and versatile living space across three floors. Further advantages include no onward chain, making this a fantastic renovation opportunity in a convenient and well-connected location.
