Patterned Carpets, Wood Panels, Exposed Ceiling Beams. All this should be getting developers or families looking for a project very excited! You wouldn’t change the area but everything else in this substantial semi is up for grabs. Property ref: KD0516
This bay-fronted 1930’s semi is in a fabulous north of the river location, only 25 minutes walk from town and with a park and Sainsbury’s right on your doorstep.
And as you’d expect, it’s substantial and well built, with spacious rooms and a generous plot.
But it does need a full internal refurbishment.
The ground floor has two reception rooms - still laid out as a separate living room and dining room - with the potential to be opened up into one more sociable space.
There’s another smaller dining room, accessed from the hall and next to the kitchen. When updating the kitchen you really should consider combining the two rooms to make more space to sit and eat.
The back garden needs a good mow but other than that it’s not going to take up much of your time or refurb budget.
Upstairs has two double bedrooms and a single bedroom / box room.
The bathroom and w/c are currently separate. You’d be updating both so may choose to knock through to create a larger room with space to make something truly luxurious.
The sought-after Kingstown location is pretty hard to beat. It's just a 2 minute walk from the park with a childrens play area and there’s a Sainsbury’s Local and a chippy just a couple of minutes down the road.
The city centre is only 25 minutes walk or a 5 minute drive away.
If you're a nature lover or enjoy riverside walks it’s only 15 minutes walk down to the river Eden with both the Swift Nature Reserve and Bitts Park only a 20 minute walk away.
Whether you’re looking to live here yourself or do it up and sell on, being so close to a great primary school will be a real plus. School run stress will become a thing of the past as Stanwix School - rated “Good” by Ofsted - is less than 5 minutes walk away.
Such a great opportunity to create a fabulous family home won’t come up very often - especially in such a sought-after area. If you like the sound of this project make sure you don’t miss out - call me to arrange a viewing.
