3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

This three-bedroom semi-detached house enjoys a peaceful residential setting just four miles from the heart of the city, close to open green spaces, a wide range of shops, and the bypass for swift travel elsewhere. The property sits within attractive gardens that are sunny and secure to the rear, whilst an attached garage and driveway provide multi-car private parking. Now requiring some modernisation, it represents a fantastic opportunity to create a personalised family home in one of the capital’s most desirable suburbs. 

Behind the front door, a bright entrance hall (with storage) flows into the sizeable reception room. This main living area spans the full depth of the property with a bright dual-aspect and handsome wood-toned flooring. It incorporates a comfortable sitting area with a cosy open fire, plus a sunny area for seated dining with a handy serving hatch from the neighbouring kitchen. Accessible from the hall, the bright kitchen comes fitted with tasteful panel-effect cabinets and good counter space. Additionally, there is an integrated oven and gas hob, a freestanding washing machine, a dryer, and a fridge. Leading off the kitchen and completing downstairs is a south-facing conservatory suitable for numerous purposes, including a summer sitting or dining area, a bright home office, or a playroom. On the first floor, a naturally-lit landing affords access to two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a mirrored fitted wardrobe and leafy hill views. Built-in storage also features in the second double bedroom and on the landing. Finally, a bright bathroom boasts a shower-over-bath and full neutral tilework. Gas central heating and full double glazing establish a warm environment in the home.

Externally, the property is complemented by lawned gardens with leafy shrubbery borders, with the south-facing rear garden reassuringly secure for children and pets. A private two-car driveway and an attached single garage provide ample off-street parking. 

Extras: All fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated/freestanding kitchen appliances are included in the sale.
