Semi-Detached House Requiring Modernisation

A three-bedroom semi-detached house occupying a generous plot within an established residential area, conveniently situated just off Hoole Lane in the popular suburb of Hoole.

The property requires a programme of modernisation and improvement but offers excellent potential for buyers looking to create a home to their own taste and specification.

To the first floor are three bedrooms. Bedroom one overlooks the front of the property and benefits from an original cast-iron fireplace and built-in wardrobe. Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden and also features an original cast-iron fireplace, while bedroom three provides further useful accommodation.

The property benefits from UPVC double-glazed windows and doors, together with gas-fired central heating served by a Worcester combination boiler.

Externally, there is a gravelled driveway to the front, complemented by shrubbery and enclosed by wooden boundary fencing and laurel. To the rear is a larger-than-average garden, offering a good degree of privacy and featuring mature shrubs and trees, along with a large wooden shed. To the rear of the garden there is an area of protected woodland, and beyond the trees there are alotments.

A property with considerable potential, particularly appealing to buyers seeking a three-bedroom home with a generous rear garden and scope for modernisation.
