About
An established period residence with an east-facing garden, offering exciting scope to extend and improve (STPP), conveniently situated close to the heart of Newnham, available with no chain.
This period property dates from 1900 and enjoys a delightful position on the east side of the street, close to the heart of Newnham croft.
The property is in need of cosmetic improvement, yet offers a superb opportunity for a buyer to be able to put their own stamp on the house and make it their own.
The property is entered via a solid timber door with a fanlight over, leading to an entrance hall with stairs to first-floor, understairs storage, and retains a decorative archway and corbels.
There is an open-plan living / dining room, benefitting from a dual aspect, built-in shelving and storage.
The kitchen has been fitted with a basic range of units and has a side door to the garden; integrated appliances include an oven and four-ring gas hob with an extractor over.
We understand the freestanding fridge and washing machine can be included in the sale if necessary. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a bathroom with door to a separate W.C.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, two are comfortable doubles and the third, a nicely proportioned single. Built-in cupboards / storage can be found within bedrooms 1 and 3.
The landing provides access to an insulated loft. Outside, there is permit parking available. The rear garden measures 15’ x 31’ (max), is predominantly paved and bordered with a variety of shrubs.
There is secure gated access to the rear, which gives pedestrian access back to the front of the street via Newnham Croft Street. The property is available with no onward chain.
Agent's Note We understand the curtilage of the rear garden extends beyond the rear gate, so the garden could be slightly extended by a new owner.
