Offering significant scope for modernisation and improvement, the property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to create a spacious home tailored to their own requirements and style.
To the front, the property benefits from an enclosed forecourt area leading to the main entrance.
Inside, a vestibule opens into a welcoming hallway with a staircase rising ahead and access to two well-proportioned reception rooms.
The front lounge is particularly light and airy, featuring a large bay window, decorative coving to the ceiling, and a traditional focal fireplace.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units providing ample storage, complemented by work surfaces with an inset sink, and space for a freestanding cooker and washing machine.
Additional built-in cupboards further enhance practicality. Beyond the kitchen is a separate freezer room, offering further storage and space for a tumble dryer.
