A family home with two living areas, a large garden, garage and exciting potential to improve, extend and create something truly personal.
At the front, there is a large reception room with a wide window that brings in plenty of natural light.
It is an ideal room for a more formal sitting space and would comfortably take two large sofas, making it a welcoming room for evenings, guests or quieter family time.
To the rear, the living room overlooks the garden and feels bright and comfortable. There is room here for sofas as well as a dining table, so it naturally works as the everyday family space.
Next to this, the kitchen currently has a good amount of eye level and base level storage, along with space for the usual appliances.
For a buyer with imagination, the rear of the house is where the biggest transformation could happen.
Subject to the required permissions and checks, opening the kitchen into the rear living room could create a much larger kitchen and dining space, potentially with an island and bi-fold doors leading straight onto the garden.
Done well, this could become the heart of the home. There is also a ground floor shower room, which adds day to day convenience and gives the layout a practical edge for family life.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. The two larger rooms are both capable of taking a double bed and wardrobes, while the third bedroom would work well as a child’s room, nursery or home office.
The bathroom and toilet are currently separate, although many buyers may choose to combine the two spaces to create a larger modern bathroom, potentially with room for a separate shower cubicle.
The garden is a real strength. It is a good size, with lawn, patio space and plenty of room for children to play, summer dining or future landscaping.
To the rear, there is a garage and store, giving valuable additional storage, or the possibility of creating a home gym, garden bar, workshop or space for teenagers.
For buyers who need even more room in the future, many homes nearby have added loft conversions.
Subject to the usual planning permissions and building regulations, this could give the house a further double bedroom and en-suite shower room.
