About this home

This deceptively spacious mid-terraced property offers an excellent opportunity for investors, developers, or buyers seeking a project with significant potential. Conveniently situated close to Dubmire Primary School, local shops, and a range of everyday amenities, the accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hallway, a generous lounge, and a kitchen/dining room to the ground floor, with the added benefit of a downstarirs W/C off the dining room. To the first floor, the property was originally configured as a three-bedroom home; however, the current layout has been altered to create one large open room. Subject to the necessary works, the original three-bedroom arrangement could be reinstated, or alternatively redesigned to provide a spacious two-bedroom layout, depending on the purchaser's requirements. A family bathroom is also located on the first floor. Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing. Requiring a full programme of refurbishment throughout, this property presents a fantastic opportunity to add value and create a home tailored to individual tastes and requirements. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the potential on offer.

Agents Note Please note that the AML fee covers the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
