House For Sale £450,000
Situated in a quiet street, yet central to Southborough's facilities and amenities is this surprisingly spacious two-bedroom Victorian home with a loft room conversion. The ground floor accommodation comprises a good size sitting room with beautiful working fireplace and wooden floors, a dining room with under stairs cupboard and being open to the kitchen creating a lovely entertaining space. There is a conservatory which is also open to the kitchen and dining room and creates a very flexible space currently being used a second sitting room but could also be a playroom or workspace. There are double doors on to the private, south-facing garden. There is also a small utility space which is a rare find in these houses and unusually, a studio within the garage which has been used as a space for drumming practice with an electronic kit and storage room by the current owner. However, it could easily be turned back into a garage if one wished. There is also a modern shower room.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a door to the loft room which has full building regulation consent certification but requires cosmetic finishing. There is (lapsed) planning permission in place for a dormer which would create a fantastic principal bedroom with an ensuite (SSTP) and would further enhance the property. There is also lapsed planning permission for a ground floor single-storey extension (including the removal of the garage).
Externally in addition to the rear garden which is laid to patio and is a wonderful suntrap there is off road parking for two cars which is hard to find with Victorian houses in this area.
We highly recommend a viewing to fully appreciate the size and scope of this property.
The property is approached via a concrete driveway which can provide parking for two cars, leading to the part glazed front door.
