3 bedroom House - Terraced (Sold)

Overall Description

This is an attractive mid-terraced Victorian town house in a good residential location that is in need of complete internal modernisation yet has considerable scope for extension and further improvement - neighbouring properties have been extended into the loft to add a master en-suite bedroom and also to the rear to create a good-sized open-plan kitchen/dining room - with all such changes being subject to the usual consents. Currently the property has three bedrooms, a cloakroom but no bathroom on the first floor, although there is a box room that might be converted to serve this purpose. Downstairs there is a large entrance hall, three receptions, a small kitchen and downstairs cloakroom with scope to create a larger kitchen in the rear reception even if you decide not to extend. There are some period features in place such as Victorian and later fireplaces, wooden floor-boards and even two of the original Victorian gas-lamp fittings. There is a small low-maintenance front garden and a 35' rear garden, with a fenced and walled border, very much a blank canvas. Probate is granted and there is no onward chain.
