Full Description: Do You Get Excited At The Sight Of A Semi With Bare Floorboards, Unpainted Walls And Traditional Wooden Kitchen Cabinets? If so, you need to check out this bay fronted blank canvas. It’s on a large plot with plenty of potential, inside and out. Property ref: KD0516You may be looking for a long term family home. Or you may be a developer in search of your next project to do up and sell on. Or a buy to let investor, keen to add value and update before moving tenants in.Whatever your plans, this three bedroom semi has bags of potential.It’s in a great location, roughly the same short distance between Belle Vue Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) and the hospital. It’s also only a 10 minute drive to the centre of town but you don’t need to head that far if you’re just after a pint of milk. There’s a One Stop shop just a few doors away.It’s also really handy if you’re heading further afield, being only a few minutes drive from the A689 Western Bypass giving you easy access to the M6 or the National Park.It has a traditional 1930’s semi layout, with a separate living room and dining room which is open to the galley kitchen at the rear.French doors lead from the dining room to a raised deck with steps down to the lawn.Upstairs has two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a four piece family bathroom.All of it needs updating. The hall, stairs and landing, the reception rooms and the bedrooms all have bare walls and are uncarpeted, so updating them will be an urgent essential.Strangely, for a doer-upper project property, the kitchen and bathroom are the most liveable-with (is that even a phrase?), so if you were moving in you could tackle these after the other rooms.There are a few nice traditional touches you could work with, such as the stained glass in the porch, the picture rails and deep skirting boards. It wouldn’t take a lot to transform this into a fabulous family home.Then again, if you had more ambitious plans (and the budget to match) the generous 335m² (3,600ft²) plot with a drive down the side of the property gives you options. You’d need to seek planning permission but there’s certainly space to add an extension at the rear AND the side, which could dramatically increase the size of the accommodation on offer.Whatever you decide to do, this well-built semi is such a versatile property it is sure to make someone a fabulous family home.I’m expecting plenty of interest so call me to arrange a viewing.
