4 bedroom House - Semi-Detached (Sold (STC))

Overall Description

This is a substantial and extended 1930's semi-detached house towards the end of a pleasant residential cul-de-sac and backing onto playing fields in the popular town of Hadleigh. The property has well-proportioned rooms with good celing heights throughout, giving it a sense of space, and has been extended on two floors to the side, as well as through the conservatory to the rear, making it a much more spacious family home than many other properties on the road. In addition, there is still scope to extend into the large loft to add one or two more bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as potentially extending further to the rear to create a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room - all subject to consent but should be possible under permitted development rights. The property has plenty of period character such as open fireplaces and picture/dado rails and currently has four bedrooms (three doubles) a bathroom and cloakroom on the first floor with a front porch, entrance hall, four receptions and a kitchen downstairs. The large and mature back garden is a positive feature of the property (especially as it backs onto the playing fields behind) and there is a front driveway with garage, as well as an outside cloakroom. The property has double-glazed windows and gas central-heating and while it may be a little dated in places, it is a much loved family home with considerable potential to be remodelled to suit its next owners' needs and tastes. The property is being sold with no onward chain and early viewing is strongly advised as opportunities like this don't come around that often.

Location
