Spacious Family Home with 3 Bedrooms, Garage, and Large Attic
Key Features
Upsides
- The property boasts a spacious and well-equipped open kitchen with high-end appliances, making it ideal for culinary enthusiasts and social gatherings.
- A major highlight is the large attic space of approximately 90 m², which comes with existing plans and permits, offering significant potential for future expansion or customisation.
- The fully enclosed plot with an electric gate provides a high level of privacy and security, which is especially valuable for families.
- The home features modern comforts such as underfloor heating on the ground floor and electric shutters throughout, enhancing the overall living experience.
Downsides
- The urban planning information for the property is incomplete, with several key documents and statuses still 'in application', which could create uncertainty for potential buyers.
- The property has an EPC label of D, which may be less attractive to buyers looking for a more energy-efficient home and could imply future renovation costs to improve its rating.
- The single bathroom, located on the first floor and primarily featuring a bath, may not be sufficient for larger families compared to homes with multiple or more modern bathroom facilities.
- While the house was built in 1974, it is not a new build, which can sometimes be associated with potential maintenance requirements or older infrastructure, despite some modern updates.
