ExpandProperty Description
A fantastic opportunity to acquire this detached family home, originally built in the early 1960s by the well-regarded local builders Hofton & Son and lovingly owned by the same family for over 40 years. The property was thoughtfully extended by the current owners in 1984 with a two-storey addition, creating a practical utility room and ground floor WC, together with a substantially enlarged family bathroom on the first floor. The accommodation comprises a bright dual-aspect lounge/dining room, a well-proportioned kitchen, utility room and WC to the ground floor. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom and the spacious family bathroom.
Now ready for a new chapter, the property offers excellent potential for refurbishment and remodelling, allowing buyers to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
Outside, the rear enjoys a tiered, south-facing garden, while the front garden provides a driveway leading to an attached garage.
Ideally suited to families, the property benefits from excellent local amenities, with nearby tram and bus services, local shops and well-regarded schools all within easy reach. For sale with vacant possession and no chain upward, viewing is recommended.

"We were really satisfied with the service provided to us from CP Walker & Son. We had a tight deadline to sell our house, and to complicate things had tenants who sometimes restricted the access to the property for photos and viewings. CP Walker & Son, and particularly Mark Finnigan, dealt with these challenges in a professional and effective manner, providing us with support and advice while sensitively liaising with the tenants and respecting their rights, and ultimately bringing the sale through to completion. We really appreciated the integrity and good service throughout our dealings with CP Walker & Son."
