A three bedroom semi-detached family home in a quiet cul de sac of Newick. The property requires updating.

A three bedroom semi-detached family home situated in a quiet cul-de-sac position within the highly desirable village of Newick. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain and vacant possession. It also presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to modernise and update a well-proportioned home to their own specification. The house offers balanced accommodation across two floors and benefits from a west facing rear garden, integral garage with power and lighting, and a private driveway providing off-road parking for between two and four vehicles.

The property extends to over 1,070 square feet and offers opportunity to convert the integral garage into another ground floor room. The main reception room is a generous dual-purpose living and dining room measuring approximately 15'11 by 23'3. This bright and spacious room spans the depth of the house and provides flexible living and entertaining space, centred around an open fireplace which creates a natural focal point. The room enjoys views towards the rear garden and offers ample space for both living room and dining room furniture.

Positioned at the rear of the property is the kitchen, which measures 9’4 x 10’6. The kitchen offers good proportions and scope for modernisation, with potential to knock into the adjacent dining area, and therefore separate the current open plan living/dining areas. There is also fantastic potential to extend out the back of the house and along the full width (subject to necessary planning) to create a large open plan kitchen/dining family area. From the Living / Dining area can be found the downstairs toilet, and front door. There is also a door leading to the garage which has power and light and an up and over door. The garage measures 9’2 x 16’7 and is perfect for additional storage or as a workshop space. It even has potential to convert into another reception room, home office or even a downstairs bedroom if required (subject to the usual permissions).

The first floor provides three bedrooms and a family bathroom arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room measuring approximately 10'11 by 11'1 with built-in mirrored wardrobes. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double at around 10'2 by 11’1, while the third bedroom measures approximately 8'9 by 7'6 and would serve well as a single bedroom, nursery, or home office. The family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation and, like much of the house, offers scope for updating to modern standards.

Externally the property benefits from a private west facing rear terrace and garden which enjoys afternoon and evening sun, making it an ideal outdoor space for family use or entertaining during the warmer months. The garden provides a pleasant backdrop to the house and offers potential for landscaping or improvement. To the front of the property there is a private driveway providing off-road parking for two to four vehicles in addition to access to the garage.
