House For Sale £220,000
Offered to the market for the first time in almost a century and now thought necessary for a full programme of refurbishment, this three bedroom semi detached house now presents an exciting renovation opportunity that is conveniently positioned in the heart of Knighton Fields.
Retaining a wealth of character and charm with the added benefit of being offered with No Upwards Chain, accommodation, in brief, comprises an entrance hallway with stain leaded glass window to the front aspect provides dual access to the ground floor living accommodation. To the right hand side, a deceptively spacious living room that retains a wealth of character and charm with high ceilings, picture rails and an original feature gas fireplace with a marble surround is positioned to the centre of the room alongside a large bay-window to the front aspect providing ample space for free-standing furniture. A second reception room boasts a feature gas fireplace to the centre of the room alongside views onto the extensive rear garden through french doors that ascend to a separate lean-to which is positioned to the far end of the property. The kitchen is located to the rear of the property and despite requiring full refurbishment provides excellent potential to be extended to both the side/rear (subject to all necessary consents.)
Ascend the staircase to find a spacious landing that provides access to three bedrooms and an original two piece family bathroom with separate w/c. The master bedroom is positioned to the front of the first floor and boasts a large bay-window to the front aspect which allows an influx of natural light into the property whilst bedroom two boasts views onto the rear garden whilst offering ample space for free-standing furniture alongside recently refurbished windows. Typically known as the "box room", bedroom three is larger than average and would make an excellent study for those needing accessibility to work-from-home or alternatively a good sized single bedroom. Judging by the surrounding properties, there seems to be excellent potential to further extend the property in the use of incorporating the space found in the loft however this would be subject to necessary consents. Despite the property requiring updating, it does benefit from a new Worcester Bosch boiler that was installed in 2018.
To the rear of the property, an extensive, mature and spacious South-facing garden which is mainly laid-to-lawn boasts an array of established fruit trees and flowers and also has the benefit of a raised patio area alongside relevant outbuildings. The space on offer could very easily be utilised to accommodate a single/double storey extension which would significantly alter the existing accommodation whilst still having ample space for those wanting a large garden. An added benefit of the property is a garage that is positioned via a private lane at the very rear of the property or alternatively the front of the property boasts ample space which could be altered to accommodate a driveway to fit two vehicles if permission was granted. Offered to the market with No Upwards Chain and offering immense potential throughout, early viewing is essential to appreciate the space on offer.
