About
Situated on the highly desirable Lower Cross Road, this three-bedroom end of terrace property offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a home.
Requiring some modernisation, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation, excellent outside space and plenty of potential.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a generous hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the downstairs WC.
The spacious living room, features a large front-facing bay window which floods the room with natural light.
The living room flows through to a separate dining area, with a door providing access to the kitchen, which can also be reached directly from the hallway.
The kitchen would benefit from updating but offers a good opportunity for the new owner to create a modern and practical space.
To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a substantial section of built-in wardrobes, alongside a further single bedroom and shower room.
Externally, the property occupies a generous corner plot, with a good-sized garden to the side and a further sizeable rear garden.
The current owners have created a parking space to the rear, whilst the property also benefits from a garage located within a nearby block and a designated space within the communal parking area.
Located in a popular and well-regarded area, the property is within a short drive of a range of local amenities and benefits from good bus links.
Whilst some modernisation is required, this is an excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer or family to acquire a spacious three-bedroom home in a desirable location and create a property to their own taste.
