About
Situated on a desirable and well-connected estate on the edge of the village, this substantial four-bedroom semi-detached home offers generous accommodation, excellent parking and plenty of potential for a buyer looking for a project.
The property would benefit from a comprehensive programme of updating, but underneath this is a spacious home with a particularly useful layout.
The ground floor includes a generous lounge with a gas fire and solid wood surround, alongside a separate dining room which could equally work as a second sitting room or family space.
The kitchen is currently in need of replacement or significant refurbishment, while a downstairs cloakroom adds practicality.
Upstairs, the four bedrooms are notably generous, including a master with its own en-suite shower room, together with a family bathroom.
Outside, the property has an unusually large amount of parking to the front, with space for around 4 vehicles on a long side driveway providing access through to the garage.
There is also side access into the garden and garage, making the outside space particularly practical.
The rear garden is currently overgrown and will require clearance, with several tired outbuildings and a lean-to greenhouse that are likely to be removed or replaced.
The property has UPVC double glazing, gas central heating and mains drainage, while a wooden hot tub structure and hot tub are also included.
There is some localized water ingress to the ceiling of the master bedroom, understood to relate to a suspected cracked roof tile, which will require investigation and repair.
There are 12 solar panels which are currently out of use due to a suspected inverter replacement, buyers are asked to look into this with a qualified engineer.
Although this is a home that requires improvement, the underlying ingredients are good: A smart estate, strong transport links including rail and bus services, four double bedrooms, flexible reception space, generous parking and a garage.
For a buyer prepared to take on the renovation, there is considerable scope to update the house and garden and create a much more contemporary family home. Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
