Description
Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after location of The Ridge, this rarely-available, fantastic spacious family home provides a great opportunity for those looking to put their own creative stamp on it.
With off-street parking and a garage with a small side-room that could convert into a workshop or office, plus a pretty front garden, wooden gate leading to a private courtyard, paved patio and large mature garden, this residence has huge potential, once given a modern make-over.
To summarise, from the hallway to the right is a large lounge with a marble feature fireplace and windows that flood the room with light.
A second reception room off the hallway, with characterful wooden beams and a rustic brick fireplace, would make a fine dining room. It leads directly through an open archway to the roomy kitchen, overlooking the patio and rear garden.
An ample utility room and downstairs w/c complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, there is a family bathroom and three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom is of such a substantial size that it could accommodate a further bedroom and en suite bathroom.
Gas central heating.
