Who’s Ready To Roll Up Their Sleeves And Get Stuck In? This is a substantial starting point for you to create your dream family home. There’s room for a growing family, a large garden and it’s on a quiet close, round the corner from the Kingsmoor schools. Property ref: KD0516
This won’t be for you if you’re looking for a large family home where you can all move in and put your feet up straight away.
It is a large scale project - in need of cosmetic tlc throughout and before that, a full rewire and installation of central heating.
But how often do you get such a versatile, family friendly blank canvas, in a fantastic location, where both the Kingsmoor Infant and Junior schools are only five minutes walk away?
Lowry Hill is also handy for town. It’s less than a 10 minute drive to the town centre shops or under half an hour if you wanted to leave the car on the drive and catch the bus.
There’s also plenty of nearby green space, with the Kingmoor Nature Reserve only a short walk away.
There isn’t a lot of point going into huge detail about each room - you’ll be putting your own stamp on them all in good time.
Instead it’s worth noting that the ground floor has a spacious lounge and second reception room at the rear. They're currently divided by sliding doors but you could easily open up the two rooms.
The rear sitting room has French doors to the garden and is next to the kitchen / diner. Given you’ll be updating the kitchen it does give you the potential to knock through and create a superb open plan kitchen / diner / family room. Better start pricing up the bi-fold doors…
To the side of the house there’s a handy utility room and a built-in single garage - accessed by a hall that runs from front to back.
Given there’s parking on the drive for a couple of cars you may want to see what an architect can do with the hall, garage and utility space. There's massive potential to totally transform the ground floor.
The first floor has already been extended some time ago, with additional bedrooms and bathrooms added above the garage.
There are three large double bedrooms and two good size single bedrooms upstairs, along with both a bathroom and a shower room. Again, all will need attention.
The front garden is neat and tidy and the back garden - which measures almost 20m from front to back - is a clean slate for anyone with green fingers or a love of landscaping.
Given it’s a large house that needs a full rewire, central heating installed then a cosmetic freshen up (with the kitchen and both bathrooms in need of updating to really do it justice) this isn’t a small, quick or low budget project.
But if you have the vision, the time and the funds to make the most of this opportunity, it could be the perfect project for you and your family.
