3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Presenting a mix of period character and well-presented modern interiors, this three-bedroom home benefits from two versatile reception rooms, a low-maintenance rear garden, and a convenient seaside location.

Believed to date back to around 1870, this appealing semi-detached Victorian house benefits from a full refurbishment over the past few years to offer well-presented, modern finishes with an opportunity for further moderation if desired. With traditional features such as skirting boards, chimney breasts, and a charming bay frontage, 20 Cross Street enjoys a welcoming entrance hall with exposed wooden floorboards flowing to two reception rooms which offer the versatility to create an additional bedroom. Tucked away to the rear of the property, a modern good-sized kitchen is located at the end of the entrance hall and benefits from a range of integrated appliances plus access to the rear garden. Forming the first floor of this wonderful home is a traditional split-level landing leading to two double-sized bedrooms, a small double bedroom, a family bathroom, and a separate cloakroom.

Outside, a fully enclosed rear garden offers a low-maintenance, paved environment providing plenty of space for garden furniture and a versatile blank canvas for any keen gardener to get creative with. To the side elevation of the property is a gated hardstanding area which could provide fantastic potential to extend the home (subject to planning consent) or be used for multiple purposes including off-road parking for a small vehicle such as a motorcycle or additional space for the rear garden.
