## Description

OPEN 9AM-9PM, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS A YEAR!

THE OPPORTUNITY IS HERE... A DETACHED THREE-BEDROOM HOME IN A GREAT MALPAS LOCATION, READY FOR SOMEONE TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE!

If you're looking for a project, this could be exactly the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Situated within a small cul-de-sac on a small development in the popular Hampton area of Malpas, this three-bedroom detached house offers something that can be increasingly difficult to find at this sort of price point – the chance to acquire a detached home in a desirable location and completely modernise it to your own specification.

Let's be clear from the outset... this property requires complete modernisation throughout. But for the right buyer, that's precisely where the opportunity lies. Rather than paying a premium for somebody else's choice of kitchen, bathroom and décor, you have the chance to take the property back to basics and create something that works for you.

For an investor, it offers the potential to renovate, improve and add value. For a young couple looking to take their next step up the property ladder, it could provide an exciting project and the opportunity to create their own home. It could equally suit somebody looking to downsize into a detached property and wants to put their own stamp on it.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hallway, guest W.C., kitchen and a lounge/diner with sliding doors opening onto the rear garden.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, with bedroom one benefiting from an en-suite shower room, together with a separate family bathroom.

Outside, the property sits within a small cul-de-sac and benefits from a driveway leading to the attached garage. The garage has an up-and-over door to the front and a useful rear access door leading into the garden.

To the rear is a private garden, laid mainly to lawn with a paved area, offering a blank canvas for landscaping and creating an outdoor space to complement the finished home.

The location is another major attraction. Hampton sits within easy reach of Malpas village, where you'll find a comprehensive range of shops, amenities and everyday facilities, while the surrounding area also provides excellent access to the road network and nearby towns.

And importantly, the property is being offered with NO UPWARD CHAIN.

This isn't a home where the hard work has already been done – quite the opposite. This is an opportunity for someone to take on a genuine renovation project, make the improvements that are required and ultimately create something far more valuable than the starting point.

Detached, three bedrooms, garage, private garden, small cul-de-sac and a desirable Malpas location.

If you're looking for a project with potential, this one could be well worth a closer look.
