Set within a popular location on the South side of the town, this 4 bedroom detached house presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a project to update and create their dream family home. Offering vast potential for enlargement, subject to the necessary consents, this property boasts an open plan sitting/dining room with doors leading out to the well-stocked, south-west facing rear garden and a large picture window providing the perfect connection with your outside space. The kitchen is awaiting a creative touch to either modernise or reconfigure the layout to create the perfect kitchen/dining room but currently has an integrated fridge/freezer, oven and hob with freestanding washing machine and dishwasher included. Additionally, the ground floor features a cloakroom off the hallway.
Upstairs, the landing is light and bright with window to the side and storage in the airing cupboard and in the loft which we understand is boarded with a drop down ladder. There are 4 bedrooms, with the larger of the rooms overlooking the garden to the rear and having a built-in double wardrobe. There are 2 further double bedrooms, one with two fitted wardrobes, and a single bedroom with built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is a good size, with shower over the bath and storage beneath the basin.
Whilst the property would now benefit from further updating, it does already benefit from double glazing and we understand the boiler is less than 2 years old.
Outside, there is a driveway providing parking for 1 car, leading to the tandem garage for a further 2 cars. The front garden is laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and offers potential to create additional parking if required. The rear garden is a fabulous space, enjoying a south-westerly aspect with large patio across the rear and side of the house with a pergola and the most magnificent Wisteria. Steps lead down to the gently sloping lawned garden with well-stocked borders of established shrubs, trees and perennials, including fabulous Camellias and Rhododendrons, amongst others. This outdoor space has been lovingly cared for and is ready for new owners to enjoy and enhance, creating a tranquil oasis in a highly accessible setting.
The location is ideal for commuters, being within 1 mile walking distance of the station and just over 0.5 mile of The Pantiles. Hargate Forest is just up the road with extensive footpaths through the local countryside and there is a plethora of cafes, restaurants, bars and local shops all within a short walk from the property.
Offered with no onward chain, this property promises a blank canvas for the discerning buyer to create their dream home and enjoy for many years to come.
