About
Situated on the ever-popular Melford Drive in Billinge, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a property they can modernise and tailor to their own tastes.
Occupying a generous plot with a substantial loft space offering exciting future potential (subject to the necessary permissions), this home combines spacious accommodation with a highly convenient location close to local amenities.
Externally, the property enjoys a well-maintained front garden alongside a side driveway providing off-road parking and leading to a detached garage positioned at the rear.
Upon entering, you are welcomed through a useful inner porch into the central hallway.
Located to the front of the property is a bright and spacious lounge, filled with natural light from the large front-facing window and providing an inviting space to relax.
Also positioned at the front is one of the two generously proportioned bedrooms. The second bedroom is situated further along the hallway and offers equally comfortable accommodation.
The family bathroom comprises a WC, hand wash basin, and bath with overhead shower. To the rear, the kitchen enjoys pleasant views over the garden and provides ample scope for modernisation.
Beyond the kitchen is a valuable sun room, creating additional living space that could be utilised as a sitting room, dining area, hobby room, or utility space depending on individual requirements.
The rear garden has been lovingly maintained and features a blend of mature shrubs and planted borders, together with space for a greenhouse and garden shed.
A patio area immediately adjacent to the property provides the perfect setting for outdoor seating and entertaining.
One of the property's standout features is the substantial loft space, which offers excellent potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to obtaining the appropriate consents.
Requiring a degree of updating throughout, this property offers buyers a fantastic opportunity to create a spacious and versatile home in a sought-after Billinge location.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
