Council Tax Band: D

Room Measurements

Ground Floor Lounge/Dining Room: 7.46m x 3.65m (24'6 x 12') Kitchen: 4.05m x 2.60m max (13'4 x 8'6) First Floor Bedroom One: 3.72m max x 3.50m (12'2 max x 11'6) Bedroom Two: 3.53m x 3.55m (11'7 x 11'8) Bedroom Three: 2.02m x 2.38m (6'8 x 7'10) Bathroom: 1.68m x 1.54m (5'6 x 5'1) Total Floor Area: approximately 83.3 sq. metres / 896.3 sq. ft.

Interior

The property offers approximately 896 sq. ft. of accommodation and provides an excellent blank canvas for a complete refurbishment. The ground floor begins with an entrance hall leading to a substantial open lounge/dining room measuring approximately 24'6 x 12', with windows to the front and rear and a central fireplace creating a natural focal point. A separate kitchen sits to the rear and provides direct access to the garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles, together with a family bathroom, separate WC and useful storage. The house requires full modernisation throughout, but the proportions and straightforward layout give a purchaser a strong starting point to redesign the interior around their own lifestyle.

Exterior

Set back from the road behind a front garden, this semi-detached home occupies an established residential plot with gated side access leading through to the rear. The rear garden is a particularly important part of the opportunity: generous in size, mature and currently requiring clearance and landscaping, it gives the next owner the chance to create an outdoor space entirely to their own taste. There is scope to improve the property's kerb appeal and, subject to the relevant planning permissions and building regulations, purchasers may also wish to investigate the potential for extending or further adapting the house. The exterior is very much part of the project, but the plot provides an excellent foundation for a long-term family home.
