** PERIOD SEMI DETACHED HOME ** CURRENTLY TWO INDEPENDENT FLATS ** CONSIDERABLE POTENTIAL ** REQUIRING MODERNISATION ** ESTABLISHED CORNER PLOT ** GENEROUS DRIVEWAY & DOUBLE GARAGE ** CENTRAL CONVENIENT LOCATION ** WALKING DISTANCE TO AMENITIES ** EXCELLENT REFURBISHMENT PROJECT ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **
A really interesting opportunity to purchase a semi detached period home currently split into two flats with independent ground and first floor living. Each flat has its own separate entrance and services. The property is ripe to be converted back to an attractive single dwelling which, although likely to require a programme of modernisation, has retained much of its original character with and an attractive, period, bay fronted facade with arched entrance portico. The accommodation has high ceilings, deep skirtings and retains many of its original sash windows.
The accommodation currently comprises a ground floor flat lying in the region of 677 sq.ft., comprising an initial entrance hall with attractive period tiling leading through into a pleasant main sitting room with a dual aspect and walk in bay window overlooking the garden. In addition the room benefits from a high corniced ceiling, picture rail, deep skirtings, exposed floor boards and feature brick fire surround with alcoves to the side. A well proportioned kitchen overlooks the side garden and, although requiring a general programme of modernisation, provides a good sized space that links through into a ground floor bath/shower room. What would formerly have been the second reception is currently utilised as a double bedroom, again with a dual aspect and an attractive walk in bay window.
The first floor flat offers around 720 sq.ft. of accommodation with its own access and stairwell leading to a first floor landing and currently comprises an attractive, dual aspect, reception (formerly a double bedroom) with sash windows, chimney breast and deep skirtings. A first floor kitchen is large enough to accommodate a small dining or breakfast table and is fitted with a range of units and, although requiring modernisation, provides a blank canvas for those to place their own mark on a home. A double bedroom with aspects to both the front and side provides a good sized room and an additional second bedroom would make an ideal dressing room or first floor office. In addition there is a first floor bathroom with four piece suite.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a convenient central local literally yards from local amenities, located on a corner plot with gardens to three sides, having pedestrian access off Gedling Road and vehicular access onto a driveway at the rear with ample off road parking for numerous vehicles, detached double garage and established gardens.
Overall this is a really interesting proposition, whether as a investment with two independent flats or, alternatively to be converted back to one single dwelling, making it a potential family home with a great deal of character.
