Property Information This traditional two-bedroom stone-built terraced home offers an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to take on a renovation project and create a property to suit their own tastes and requirements. Offering approximately 479 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over two floors, the property features a traditional stone frontage, a separate living room, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and a rear yard. With a full programme of refurbishment required, the property provides a fantastic starting point for those looking to bring their own ideas to life, whether as a future home or investment opportunity. The ground floor opens into a living room positioned to the front of the property, offering a comfortable space with a traditional chimney breast and a window allowing natural light to enter. To the rear, the separate kitchen provides a practical layout with existing storage cupboards, worktop space and a sink beneath the window. This room offers the opportunity to introduce a new kitchen design to suit individual preferences. Beyond the kitchen, a hallway leads to the ground-floor bathroom, currently fitted with a bath, washbasin and WC, providing further potential for refurbishment and personalisation. Externally, the property benefits from a rear yard, offering a useful outdoor space with the potential to create a pleasant seating area or a low-maintenance courtyard. Upstairs, the property offers two bedrooms, including a generously proportioned main bedroom. The second bedroom would work well as a single bedroom, nursery or home office. Both rooms offer the opportunity to create comfortable and inviting spaces as part of the wider renovation. With its traditional character, manageable proportions and convenient location, this property presents an opportunity for buyers with the vision to transform it into a welcoming home.
