Description

Not every opportunity arrives polished, some arrive with potential, possibility and a reason to look twice. Essex Drive is one of those properties: a three-bedroom semi-detached home in Kidsgrove, Stoke-on-Trent, offering excellent yield potential and clear scope for improvement. Please note, the property is of non-standard construction and is therefore available to cash buyers only.
The ground floor begins with an entrance hall featuring a double glazed window, double glazed entrance door and laminate wood flooring. The lounge offers a generous living area with two double glazed windows and laminate wood flooring, providing a blank canvas for buyers looking to update, redesign or add value.
The kitchen is fitted with base units, work surfaces, splashback, sink with drainer, cooker hood and spaces for a fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also vinyl flooring, radiator, a double glazed window and a double glazed door leading outside. An outhouse to the side of the kitchen provides useful additional storage and further practical potential.
To the first floor, the landing benefits from a double glazed window and loft access. There are three bedrooms, with bedroom three including fitted wardrobes, while the bathroom comprises a double shower, low-level WC, hand wash basin and part-tiled walls.
Externally, the property offers a front lawn and driveway, with a rear garden laid mainly to lawn and featuring a paved patio area. With its three-bedroom layout, driveway, outdoor space and strong investment appeal, this Essex Drive property is an intriguing opportunity for cash buyers looking for their next project.
