THE PROPERTY

Available with no chain and positioned on an excellent end plot, this two bedroom home is an excellent purchase for first time buyers, investors and those able to develop. The property does need improving and is currently without central heating and off road parking. Therefore viewers will need to approach with an open mind.

The property begins with a generous front and side garden with a pathway leading to the front door. The fence line to the side of the property has actually been moved forward by the owner to provide a larger back garden whilst still maintaining this impressive front lawn.

Stepping inside, the property begins with an entrance hallway with staircase and side window to the left and doors leading off to the kitchen ahead and reception room to the right. For storage there is a handy cupboard located at the beginning of the staircase whereas the area underneath the stairs has been left open. The reception room is a superb size that has a lovely wide lounge area with feature fireplace to the front. It narrows to a dining area at the rear that is easily large enough to hold a six-seater dining table and has a wide set of French doors that open out to the patio.

The kitchen has a basic suite that includes plenty of workspace and storage units. There is a stainless steel dink with drainer fitted in front of the window that looks out to the rear garden. To the left of the kitchen is a long extension that we have named the utility area as it would make an ideal space for this and laundry. There are units fitted at the far end of the room and doors to the front and rear for exits to both gardens.

Moving upstairs, the landing area has doors leading off to both bedrooms, the bathroom and a separate WC. There is also the airing cupboard which holds the immersion tank. The master bedroom is located to the front of the house and is a huge double room that will impress all viewers. There is a chimney breast that adds a little character at the far side of the room with a large storage cupboard/wardrobe making use of the void above the staircase.

Bedroom two, although the smaller of the two rooms, is another double bedroom. Positioned at the back of the house it has a nice view over the rear garden. Beside bedroom two is the family bathroom which quite simple comprises of a bathtub with shower over and a wash basin. The toilet is located in the separate WC which has a small window to allow natural light from the side. There is also a loft above the first floor that is insulated and accessible from above the landing.

Finishing outside, the rear garden is very large for a two bedroom property of this style. It begins with a wide patio, perfect for an outdoor furniture set before continuing to the lawn which covers the majority of the rear garden, featuring a conifer to the left. There could be space to the left of the rear garden to introduce a driveway although this depends on whether permission would be granted to drop the kerb on Wandsworth Road.
