About this property
This redecorated 3 Bedroom Semi with a 2-Car Front Drive and rear Garage, offers excellent potential with planning passed for a program of works to turn it into a 4 Bed Semi.
As it is now, the spacious 24ft dual-aspect Lounge/Diner features a boarded fireplace which could be re-opened, and flows into a practical Conservatory that opens onto a generous 77ft Garden with garage accessed via the rear service road.
The dated but clean and functional kitchen has a built in Oven and Hob, the bright landing is flooded with natural light, and three good-sized bedrooms include a 13ft Master Bedroom, all served by the existing Shower room and separate WC which could be easily combined to create a larger family Bathroom.
With exciting planning permission already secured for a Rear Extension, Front Porch with ground-floor WC, and Loft Conversion for an impressive Master Suite, all the groundwork is done and ready for you to bring these transformative plans to life.
Location
The property also enjoys all the conveniences of a suburban location with added countryside, as the property is situated in very pleasant cul-de-sac just 1 mile from the Station (London Liverpool Street in 35 minutes), yet with a public footpath around the corner taking you out to woodland and countryside - perfect for families or dog walking.
The top end of Cherry Gardens adjoins the extensive grounds of Hannakins Farm Community Centre, with its vast array of clubs and numerous pitches (football, cricket, etc) and thirsty/crafty dogwalkers may like to take advantage of its licenced bar, which has an outside sitting area and is open Tuesday -Sunday evenings and Weekend afternoons!
0.5 mile away is the highly regarded Brightside Primary School and the neighbourhood shops including a handy Sainsburys 'Local' are just a bit further at 0.6 mile.
The Property and its accommodation in more detail
UPVC entrance door through to:
Hallway
A good size Hall with a cupboard on the right as you enter and attractive 'Grey Oak' flooring.
There's also a handy understairs cupboard for additional storage.
Lounge/diner 24ft 5" x 12ft 5" narrowing to 9ft 3" (7.44m x 3.78m > 2.82m).
An excellent size dual aspect living room with a large front window, a Fireplace (currently boarded up) and another large window, this one to the rear and with an adjacent door opening out to the conservatory.
Conservatory 11ft 2" x 8ft 9" (3.40m x 2.67m).
Dated but very usable, dry, waterproof and with Grey Oak effect vinyl flooring.
Kitchen 10ft 6" x 9ft (3.20m x 2.74m).
Dated but very clean and functional and with a built-in electric Hob with Extractor above, built in Double Oven and Grill and recesses for a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
An external door opens to reveal a side recessed storm porch and then the side path giving side access to the garden.
Staircase from hallway to:
1st floor landing
A very large side facing window throws lots of light across the stairwell and over the landing, making it particularly light and bright.
Master bedroom 13ft 2" x 11ft 3" (4.01m x 3.43m)
(The measurements exclude the door recess)
The 8ft (2.44m) wide front facing window maximises light.
Bedroom two 10ft 9" x 10ft 6" (3.28m x 3.20m)
Another good size double bedroom and again with a notably wide (8ft) rear facing window.
Bedroom three 9ft 5" x 7ft 1" (2.87m x 2.16m)
A nice size 3rd bedroom, presently used as a spacious study and with attractive grey effect vinyl flooring, inset downlighting and a front facing window.
Bathroom with separate adjoining WC room
Bathroom 7ft 5" x 4ft 10" (2.26m x 1.47m)
Fitted out as a shower room with a large 1650mm x 660mm walk in Shower, along with a white gloss vanity basin.
A large rear facing window provides plenty of natural light and the built-in cupboard houses the hot water cylinder.
Separate WC room 4ft 8" x 2ft 8" (1.42m x 0.81m)
With a close coupled WC and window for natural light.
Of note, if the two rooms were opened into one, the newly created larger bathroom would measure 8ft x 7ft 6" (2.44m x 2.29m).
Exterior
The garden is some 77ft (23m) in length and hides a Garage at the end, accessed via the rear service road. There's also a rear gate next to the garage.
With the two car front drive, there's probably more mileage in converting the garage into a home bar or office, etc.
Potential
Looking back at next door, we see they have successfully done a loft conversion and in fact here, the current owners have also had plans passed for a large Rear Extension to create the on-trend open plan rear Kitchen/Dining/Family Room, a front Porch to create a porch with a ground floor WC Room, and a Loft Conversion to create an impressive Top Floor Master Bedrooms.
This was on the brink of being started but the Owners have had an exciting opportunity to buy something else which they are going for, so the advantage of all the pre-plans being drawn up could be yours to fulfil!
