Description

Positioned in a well-established residential area, this sizeable semi-detached property offers an abundance of space and excellent scope for improvement, making it an ideal project for buyers looking to create a long-term family home.

The ground floor comprises a spacious entrance hall leading to two well-proportioned reception rooms, including a large through lounge with a bay window and feature fireplace, providing a bright and versatile living space. To the rear, a fitted kitchen opens through to a substantial conservatory, offering additional living or dining space with direct access to the garden. A separate utility area and ground floor WC add further practicality.

Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms, all of good size, alongside a family bathroom and an additional separate bathroom, providing flexibility for growing families. A further loft room is accessible, offering useful extra space for storage or potential conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally, the rear garden is a standout feature, extending to a generous size with a mix of patio and lawn, bordered by mature planting and offering plenty of potential for landscaping. To the front, a driveway provides convenient off-road parking.

While the property would benefit from updating throughout, it offers a fantastic opportunity to modernise and personalise a substantial home in a desirable location close to local amenities, schools, and transport links.

You can secure this property with an optional reservation deposit of £2,500. This forms part of the property's total purchase price and is not an additional fee. The deposit draws up a legally binding exclusivity agreement which gives exclusive rights to purchase the property within an agreed timeframe.

The reservation deposit guarantees that the seller will remove their property from the market as soon as the offer is accepted and the deposit is paid. This means that the property is reserved for you, giving you time to complete the sale without the risk of being gazumped.

The fixed exclusivity period (typically 8-10 weeks) allows you to prepare financing, surveys and property searches with the confidence that you aren't wasting money on a sale that may fall through.
