Acton Gardens, Wrexham, LL12

Realistically priced to reflect the need for general updating and refurbishment, the property presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to create a truly individual home in a highly regarded location. Its generous proportions and wealth of character provide an excellent foundation for improvement, with notable period features including high ceilings, pitch-pine internal doors, picture rails, decorative coving , Victorian-style fire surrounds and original herringbone hardwood-block flooring within the two principal reception rooms.

The spacious ground-floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a particularly generous bay-fronted lounge, a versatile second reception room previously utilised as a dining room, a fitted kitchen, utility room with downstairs WC and a sizeable conservatory providing a third reception space. The conservatory also offers potential to be incorporated into the kitchen to create a larger kitchen and dining area, subject to any necessary consents.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. Both principal bedrooms offer comfortable double accommodation, while the third is a particularly generous single room that could also accommodate a double bed, if required.

Outside, the property benefits from a largely private rear garden, a driveway extending alongside and beyond the house, and a detached timber garage. Altogether, this is a marvellous opportunity to restore and enhance a characterful Victorian residence, creating a fabulous family home in an exceptional residential setting. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the property’s generous accommodation, original features and considerable appeal and potential.
