FULL WALK-THROUGH VIDEO!

THREE-BEDROOM DETACHED PROPERTY located in the heart of the highly desirable village of Skidby. With PLENTY OF OFF-STREET PARKING, a REAR GARDEN, and a layout that offers generous living space, this home is perfect for those looking to put their own stamp on a property. While it could benefit from a little TLC, it’s a fantastic opportunity to settle into a popular village setting with great potential.

Our Thoughts:The location is brilliant, offering a lovely village atmosphere while still being convenient for nearby amenities and transport links.

Inside, the layout is practical and spacious. The LIVING AND DINING ROOM runs the full length of the house, with windows at both ends letting in plenty of natural light. The KITCHEN at the rear has ample storage with its WALL AND BASE UNITS, plus room for your appliances, and it opens out onto the garden.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are all generously sized, with TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS at the front and a THIRD DOUBLE BEDROOM at the back. The SHOWER ROOM is functional, with a SHOWER CUBICLE, BASIN, AND WC.

The REAR GARDEN is a mix of patio and lawn, and while it could use a bit of attention, it’s a great space to work with. The OFF-STREET PARKING to the side of the property is another big plus, with room for TWO OR THREE CARS.

This home is ideal for someone who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and make it their own. It’s a solid starting point in a fantastic village location, and I can see it being a great fit for a family or first-time buyers.
