House For Sale £325,000
Exciting transformation opportunity.
Description
Set on the edge of the village of Hempton, 1 Council House offers the rare opportunity to completely transform a semi-detached house set within a generous garden. There is potential to extend the property, subject to planning permission.
On the ground floor a porch leads into a hallway which provides access to a sitting room with open fireplace and views onto the garden. A dining room with open fireplace leads into the kitchen, which has a door into a rear porch / garden room. There is also a ground floor bathroom and separate WC.
The first floor currently provides three bedrooms and a landing with a cupboard.
Adjoining the house are integrated stores, which have potential to be incorporated into the house, plus there is potential to further extend the property, both subject to necessary planning consents.
To the front of the property is a landscaped garden, where the owner used to grow an impressive array of flowers. The rear garden is currently laid to be an allotment with greenhouse and in previous years was very productive. It would also suit being landscaped and the addition of a terrace would make it a lovely spot to entertain and unwind.
