Investors - Here’s Your Next Project! A quick look at the photos will put 95% of people off and get the other 5% very excited! This substantial 3 bedroom property needs A LOT of work but it has so much character and potential behind the dated decor.

If you can see beyond the current condition and look instead at what this well built property could be with a bit of TLC, there’s plenty to get excited about.

It’s in a popular part of town - tucked away on a quiet old town no-through-road that’s less than 10 minutes walk from the shops.

It’s pretty big, with enough room to allow you to reconfigure it into a versatile 21st century family home.

Chances are you’ll be ripping everything out and going back to brick, so going into too much detail on each room isn’t really going to be helpful.

The ground floor has a spacious lounge and a separate dining room, with the kitchen at the rear giving access to the surprisingly large back garden through patio doors.

The bathroom is also downstairs. The advantage of that is it frees up much more space upstairs so the three double bedrooms are all a good size.

One of the bedrooms has an accessible shower in the room. You’re unlikely to keep that but it does mean there’s all the plumbing in place if you felt you could fit in a proper, stylish ensuite.

Given the location so close to the town centre, the big back garden is a bit of a wild but unexpected treat, measuring around 18m from the rear extension to the back fence.

If you’re buying this as an investment (either to sell on or rent out) it’s worth knowing what will appeal to your target buyers or tenants from the outset.

With that in mind, given this will make a great family home, it’s good to know that Park Lane Primary School is around 10 minutes walk away (or 2 mins in the car).

It’s not much further for older kids. Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute bike ride away.

Let’s make no bones about it. This is a substantial property on a large plot that needs a complete refurb, inside and out.

It’s not a simple case of giving it a lick of paint and putting some new carpets down.

But that means there’s so much more potential as an investment - either as a flip or a rental with the opportunity to refinance after the refurb.

There’s plenty of people who won’t want to take on a project of this size - but a lot of people will relish the potential on offer.

If that sounds like you (and you’re already getting excited) call or complete the enquiry form to arrange a viewing.
