House For Sale £350,000
Standing to a highly regarded location, which commands stunning views from above the valley, this renovated and principally refurbished semi-detached property offers an opportunity to complete a project and create a home of some distinction. Starting life as a semi-detached bungalow, the house has been extended and adapted to create a stylish two storey home. The ground floor incorporates open plan living space with oak floors, excellent natural light and distant views, complemented by a separate living or work room or the versatility of a spacious third bedroom. At first floor level, the extended loft features a striking glazed gable to one of two double bedrooms, complemented by one ensuite and a spacious family bathroom.
An unexpected wish to sell the property means the project is unfinished in places and a highly recommended internal inspection will reveal the rare opportunity presented.
