Description
A chance to acquire a detached 3 bed house occupying a corner plot, in the popular Kings Hedges of the city.
The property dates from the 1970's and was purchased by the owner soon after its construction. The property is of brick cavity wall construction beneath a pitched tiled roof, with a single storey extension more recently added to the right hand side. The property would lend itself to a programme of upgrading and refurbishment, therefore offering a wonderful opportunity to owner occupiers and developer buyers alike.
The internal accommodation is as follows:
Ground Floor: Entrance Porch; Entrance Hall, Sitting Area, Dining Area, Kitchen with a range of old base and wall units; Utility Room with sink and drainer and Vaillant gas boiler; Shower Room with white wc, wash hand basin and walk in shower.
First Floor; Landing with airing cupboard housing hot water cylinder; 3 Bedrooms; Bathroom with old bath and wash hand basin; Separate Cloakroom with wc.
Outside: There is an attached garage to the right hand side, with up-and-over door to front and pedestrian door rear. The house benefits from a modest front garden with parking, which also leads to the garage.
To the rear is a good sized garden mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with trees and shrubs, all of which is very overgrown and requires clearing.
The property offers buyers a wonderful chance to tailor the house to their tastes and add value.
