Offered to the open market for the first time in 85 years and available with no upward chain, this 1930s, three-bedroom, bay fronted, semi-detached home presents an incredibly rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a characterful home boasting immense potential. Retaining many of the original character features including a stained glass window, picture rails and high ceilings, the layout, in brief, comprises an entrance porch providing access to a deceptively spacious hallway, two reception rooms both with beautiful double-glazed bay windows allowing a great flow of natural light into the space as well as a feature gas fireplace located in the living room, alongside a kitchen located to the rear of the property. Despite requiring refurbishment, the kitchen includes a pantry, access to the lean-to, outside w/c and integral garage, as well as providing excellent potential to extend both to the rear/side (by incorporating the space found in the lean-to) subject to relevant planning permission. Ascend the stairs and you are greeted with a landing that boasts a stained glass window to the side aspect, high ceilings and picture rails, giving access to three good sized bedrooms and a bathroom with separate w/c.
To the rear of the property is an extensive, private and well established rear garden that stretches over 100 ft long as well as a raised patio area. To the front, there is excellent kerb appeal in the form of a driveway and integral garage alongside the front garden.
Retaining a wealth of charm and original features, the property has been well cared for over the years and now presents an exciting renovation project to any aspiring first-time buyer looking to get onto the property ladder, buy to let investor looking to start or extend their portfolio or alternatively a comfortable family home. An internal viewing comes highly recommended.

Vendor comments:
" Our grandparents bought this house in 1936 for £650, when it was brand new. They lived there with their family through the war and our aunt has continued to live there up to the present day. It is a house with many happy family memories, collected over the last 85 years. It has a lovely, sunny, quiet garden and is surrounded by a friendly community. It is now time for it to be passed onto its second ever owner, who will gain a home with so much character and potential. "
