Description
This substantial five-bedroom Victorian house presents an exciting opportunity to create a truly stunning family home or explore development possibilities. Offering generous room sizes and versatile accommodation across three floors, the property is well-proportioned and ready for a new owner to enhance and personalise to their own taste.
The ground floor features a large lounge, a second reception room, a fitted kitchen with separate utility area, and a convenient ground floor bathroom. The entrance hall is compact but leads directly into the spacious living areas, providing a warm welcome.
The first floor offers two good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, with three further bedrooms on the top floor, providing plenty of space for family living or home working.
A particular highlight is the large basement, ideal for storage or with excellent potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The property also benefits from private parking – a valuable feature in this style of home.
Given its size, layout, and central location, the property may also appeal to investors seeking a potential project, with scope (subject to planning) to convert into apartments or create a multi-unit residence.
