Property Information

A traditional three-bedroom stone-built terrace arranged across three floors, offering three double bedrooms, an east-facing rear yard and excellent potential for modernisation. Situated along Prospect Street, the property presents an opportunity for buyers looking to create a home to their own specification or investors seeking a conveniently located property.

Although some cosmetic updating would enhance its presentation, the property has benefited from several important improvements, including the installation of an injected damp-proof course, associated replastering where required and new concrete floors to the ground floor. The electrical installation has also been inspected, with the vendor advising that a ten-year electrical certification was issued following the inspection. These improvements, alongside UPVC double glazing and gas central heating, provide a useful starting point for further modernisation.

The front entrance opens directly into a spacious living room, featuring a front-facing window, a decorative fireplace and useful built-in storage beneath the window. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with white base units, grey work surfaces, a gas hob and an integrated oven, with space for a washing machine. Open shelving provides additional storage, while a rear door gives direct access to the outside space. Although functional, the kitchen offers scope for refurbishment and personalisation.

The first floor provides a generous double bedroom positioned to the front of the property, alongside a spacious family bathroom to the rear. The bathroom includes a panelled bath with shower over, wash basin and WC, with a frosted window providing natural light. A further staircase leads to the second floor, where two additional double bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for family members, guests or home working. Both rooms feature windows providing natural light, with sloping ceilings adding character to the upper floor.

Outside, the property benefits from an east-facing rear yard, enclosed by traditional stone walls and offering a practical, low-maintenance outdoor space. With room for outdoor seating and potential for improvement, the yard provides an opportunity to create a more attractive and usable outside area. Overall, the property offers a sensible layout, generous bedroom accommodation and plenty of scope for buyers looking to make improvements over time.
