The beauty of homes like this is the opportunity they offer, a house that’s perfectly liveable from day one, yet still gives the next owner the chance to modernise, add value and create something really special over time. With off-street parking, a detached garage and scope to extend to both the side and rear (subject to the necessary permissions), this is the kind of property buyers can truly grow into.

The entrance hallway gives access to the kitchen straight ahead, while to the left is the main living and dining space. There is also a useful storage cupboard in the hallway, ideal for everyday household items. Running the full depth of the property, the lounge diner is dual aspect and filled with natural light throughout the day. The living area sits at the front with plenty of room for seating centred around a chimney breast with a fireplace and gas fire, creating a cosy focal point. To the rear, the dining area overlooks the garden and offers a great spot for everyday meals, entertaining friends or keeping an eye on children playing outside.

The kitchen currently has plenty of units above and below the worktop, along with a useful built-in storage cupboard for additional household storage. There is a sink/drainer positioned in front of a window to the side of the property, while an external door at the far end provides access outside. There is space for a freestanding cooker/hob, tall fridge/freezer and washing machine.

While the property would now benefit from general updating, it has clearly been well cared for over the years and offers a fantastic blank canvas for buyers wanting to put their own stamp on a home.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two are both comfortable doubles, positioned at the front and rear respectively, while bedroom three would work equally well as a nursery, dressing room or home office depending on your needs. The bathroom is currently fitted with a WC, wash basin and shower cubicle. There is also a useful storage cupboard on the landing which houses the recently installed boiler.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a well-maintained front lawn and flowerbeds adding to the kerb appeal. A driveway provides off-street parking and leads down the side of the house towards the detached garage with wooden opening doors. The rear garden has been designed to be both practical and enjoyable, with a patio directly behind the house, alongside a lawned garden and pathway leading towards the garage.

The property tenure is leasehold with 734 years remaining on the lease. The ground rent is £19 per year.
