A two bedroom semi-detached house providing spacious accommodation throughout, offered to the market vacant with no onward chain and offering fantastic potential for refurbishment and modernisation, making it ideal for either first time buyers looking to get onto the property ladder and put their own stamp on a home, or for investors looking for a renovation project to re-market or rent out.

To the first floor there are two spacious double sized bedrooms, one of which has a built-in storage cupboard.
Externally and to the front is a lawned garden with shrubs and a driveway providing ample off-road parking in addition to a side sheltered carport, and to the rear is a further lawned garden with a paved patio, plants and shrubs and a storage shed.
