## Description

The property requires some updating and refurbishment throughout, providing a blank canvas for buyers to put their own stamp on it. As you approach, you'll find a private driveway with parking space for multiple vehicles. Inside, the entrance porch leads into a spacious hallway, setting the tone for the potential that lies within.

The large lounge features double doors that open into a generous breakfast kitchen, which could be transformed into a modern, open-plan living space with some renovation work. The kitchen has direct access to the rear enclosed garden, offering scope to create an outdoor entertaining area or a landscaped garden. The converted garage presents further potential as a home office, playroom, or additional storage, with some renovation.

Upstairs, there are three sizable bedrooms that could be reconfigured or updated to meet your family’s needs. The family bathroom is accessible from the landing and may benefit from modernisation to enhance its functionality.

This family home is full of potential and ready for the next owners to add their personal touch. With some refurbishment, it could become a wonderful family residence. Don’t miss this opportunity—properties like this in such a desirable location don’t stay available for long. Contact us today to arrange a viewing and start your journey to creating your dream home!
