About
Set within a convenient position and enjoying sea views, this deceptively spacious semi-detached home presents a superb opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a property.
The property offers front and rear gardens, gas central heating and UPVC double glazing.
While the house now requires general updating, it provides an excellent canvas for modernisation and to add value.
The main entrance opens into a welcoming hallway with useful storage and stairs rising to the first floor.
The lounge/diner is a good light-filled space, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
To the rear, the kitchen enjoys garden views and offers scope to reconfigure or extend, subject to the necessary planning and consents.
On the first floor there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, making this an attractive option for families, first-time buyers or those looking for a coastal home.
The bathroom is fitted with a traditional three-piece suite. A home with genuine potential in a sought-after setting.
