Description
Whilst the accommodation would benefit from a comprehensive programme of modernisation and updating, this also presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to refurbish, remodel and redesign the property to their own taste and specification. There is also potential to extend to the side, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. Similar properties within the area have also benefited from well-designed loft conversions, again subject to planning.
Internally, the accommodation comprises an entrance hallway with useful cloaks cupboard, downstairs W.C, separate dining room, spacious living room with access to the rear garden and an extended fitted kitchen. To the first floor are four bedrooms and a three-piece family bathroom.
Externally, the property occupies a particularly appealing corner position and is complemented by enclosed front and rear gardens together with a private side driveway providing valuable off-road parking.
Ideally positioned within a short walk of the vibrant town centre, railway station, local schools, and the extensive open spaces of Tatton Park, this represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a family sized home with considerable scope to modernise, improve and add value.
