Offering tremendous potential for improvement and further enhancement, this charming two-bedroom cottage presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a project to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
Occupying a pleasant elevated position within a small row of similar character properties and benefitting from the rare addition of both a private rear garden and a detached garage
features seldom found with properties of this type and age. Whilst the property has already seen several important improvements including partial uPVC double glazing, a replacement roof and a replacement staircase
it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and refurbishment throughout. As such, it offers an ideal blank canvas for first-time buyers, investors, developers or those looking to create a characterful home in a sought-after setting, provided they aren't afraid of hard work.
The accommodation briefly comprises; entrance porch, a comfortable living room with a stove, a kitchen/dining room and a rear porch on the ground floor. To the first floor are two double bedrooms and a shower room/WC. Externally, the property features an enclosed cottage-style garden to the front, whilst to the rear there is a separate garden area accessed via the shared rear lane, together with a detached garage that provides valuable storage, workshop space or parking.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a property with genuine scope for improvement and future value enhancement. Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the potential on offer.
