The upstairs rooms enjoy lovely open aspects over the rear garden and across Wardie Playing Fields. There is clear scope, subject to planning, to introduce dormer windows to increase both scale and usable floor area, enhancing what is already a highly adaptable layout.
Opportunity
While the property is presented in good overall order, it now offers an incoming purchaser the chance to fully modernise and potentially extend, tailoring the house to 21st-century living requirements. With neighbouring properties having successfully reimagined similar homes, the potential here is clear and compelling.
Garden & Grounds
The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the home’s strongest features - expansive, private and directly backing onto playing fields, giving a wonderful sense of openness. Facing west, it captures the best of the afternoon and evening light, making it ideal for families and entertaining alike.
To the front, there is private off-street parking and access to the garage.
