Enjoying a highly convenient location just a short walk from local shops, services, leisure amenities and a bus stop, this larger than average three-bedroomed family forms part of an enclave of 15 houses grouped around an amenity green.
While in move-in condition, this house would benefit from some modernisation and improvement. That said, any such investment made will pay rich lifestyle dividends thanks to its fundamental underlying strengths, which include spacious bedrooms and reception rooms, and a large back garden of a size rarely seen in newly-built, modern homes.
The current owners have already taken a big step in realising the property’s full potential by converting the attic to create additional second floor living space.
New owners may wish to go a giant step further by taking full advantage of that big back garden to extend and/or reconfigure (subject to planning regulation) the existing kitchen and/or adjoining lounge to create an exceptionally spacious open plan kitchen/living/dining at the heart of the home.
Generally in good condition throughout, existing accommodation comprises an entrance hall with outer porch, two large reception rooms (a living room to the front and the lounge to the rear) and the kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms (all doubles), a landing, bathroom with separate wc and, on the top floor, that converted attic.
Outside, there’s a low maintenance front garden with a tarmac drive providing off-street parking for one car. Mostly laid out in lawn, paving and gravelled areas, there’s more than enough room to accommodate a rear extension while still leaving a sizeable back garden.
Just beyond the back garden’s rear boundary, the presence of playing pitches belonging to the Loughlinstown Leisure Centre and mature trees ensures that the property is not overlooked from the rear.
An ideal choice for families, couples and buyers with an eye to potential, call us today to arrange a viewing of this must-see home.
