VIEWINGS TO COMMENCE FRIDAY 1st AUGUST 2025
A spacious, detached family style home with enormous potential, standing on a large, private southerly facing plot with a large integral garage and off street parking.
Available to the market for the first time in nearly 45 years, this Chain Free home is very well placed for many amenities including good schools covering all age ranges, the vibrant town centre and attractive countryside.
The present accommodation on the ground floor features an entrance hall. A central open plan dining room. Kitchen with a central island plus a good sized sitting room with a fireplace and separate snug area with direct garden access. Further accommodation includes an inner hallway with utility area and study. Upstairs there are four large bedrooms plus a spacious family bathroom and cloakroom.
Whilst requiring updating and refitting throughout, this rarely available property in our opinion provides many options to remodel and extend subject to obtaining the required consents.
Therefore viewing is highly recommended in order to appreciate the full potential of this property.
