With gardens to the front and side, a rear yard and freehold tenure, this end-terrace property presents an exciting opportunity for a buyer with the vision to restore and enhance a home of real personality.
High ceilings, decorative coving and original fireplaces—including fireplaces in the bedrooms—reflect the craftsmanship and generous proportions of its era. Natural light fills the accommodation, creating a bright and welcoming feel throughout.
A front porch opens into the entrance hallway. The spacious front lounge features a bay window and an attractive feature fireplace, while a separate rear lounge provides a second generous reception room, also with a feature fireplace. The hallway continues to a good-sized dining room, which leads through to the spacious kitchen. Together, the three reception rooms offer excellent flexibility for family life and entertaining.
Upstairs, a long landing provides access to four bedrooms and the family bathroom, continuing the sense of space and character found on the ground floor.
Outside, gardens extend to the front and side of the property, complemented by an enclosed rear yard. The outlook towards parkland adds to the appeal of the setting.
The property requires full modernisation, providing considerable scope for a new owner to introduce their own style while preserving its period features. It is carpeted throughout and benefits from gas central heating via a combi boiler. The seller advises that the electrical installation is checked regularly and the boiler is regularly serviced.
For those who appreciate older homes, generous rooms and original detail, this is a rewarding renovation opportunity with the potential to become a distinctive and spacious family home.
