## Description

Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious layout that comprises two separate reception rooms, providing flexibility for various living arrangements. The property boasts a great-sized rear garden, offering the perfect space for outdoor relaxation and entertainment.

In need of modernisation throughout, this property is a blank canvas awaiting your personal touch. The absence of an onward chain and immediate vacant possession provide the added convenience of a smooth transition for the new owner.

There is significant potential to extend the property and add a driveway, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. This presents an exciting opportunity to tailor the home to meet your specific requirements and enhance its value.

Ideal as a first-time purchase, this residence is perfectly suited for those looking to establish themselves in a desirable community and make a property truly their own. The property offers three generously sized bedrooms, providing ample space for family living or accommodating guests.
