About
An exciting opportunity to acquire a two-bedroom semi-detached property situated on Lorton Close, Whitehaven.
Occupying a particularly generous plot with a driveway and gardens to both the front and rear, the property is in need of full refurbishment throughout and provides fantastic potential for buyers looking to create a home to their own specification.
The ground floor offers surprisingly spacious accommodation, with a generous lounge and dining area providing plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining.
A fitted kitchen sits to the rear, while the addition of a conservatory provides further useful living space and enjoys direct access out to the rear garden.
To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from useful fitted storage, along with a shower room comprising a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.
While the property requires modernization, its generous proportions and substantial plot make it an excellent proposition for those looking for a renovation project.
The accommodation offers plenty of scope to be reconfigured and updated to suit modern-day living, subject to any necessary permissions and building regulations.
Externally, the property really comes into its own.
To the front is a driveway providing off-road parking alongside a lawned garden, while the large rear garden offers an impressive amount of outdoor space and considerable potential for landscaping and improvement.
The existing garage is not considered to be in a repairable condition and should not be viewed as usable garaging.
However, the space it occupies creates an exciting opportunity to explore extending the existing accommodation or creating additional living space, subject to the relevant planning permission and consents.
With its generous plot, two good-sized bedrooms and significant potential to improve and extend, this property would make an ideal purchase for a buyer looking to take on a full renovation project and create a home tailored to their own requirements.
Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the space and possibilities on offer.
