NO ONWARD CHAIN: Investors, Developers, First Time Buyers who want to roll their sleeves up - this one is for you. A three bedroom terraced house with two reception rooms, looking for some TLC...
Granville Street is one of those quintessentially Victorian streets, lined either side with quality, sturdy, solid built houses. No27 has, until recently, been Let out for quite some time, with its current owner now looking for someone new to restore the home to its former glory and make it either a loving, surprisingly spacious home, or an excellent investment property to either start your Landlord journey with, or add to a growing portfolio.
Along with Sydney Street, Argyle Street and Laughton Road; Granville Street is located between Brothertoft Road and Carlton Road, joining the two together like a thread. The town centre is easily accessible - locals will be familiar with Gassy Pad - an alleyway that links Carlton Road to Irby Street via the back of Asda and past the old Gas Works, ending up at the foot of the river, just across from the Boston Stump. The area is ever popular as it is so close to many convenient amenities for all walks of life - from supermarkets to community centres, the rowing club to schools, you'll find a vast array of things to do and places to go within a few minutes walk.
The property itself - featuring an entrance hall, lounge, dining room, small utility space and bathroom, with stairs that lead to a landing with three bedrooms arranged off. Standing in the master bedroom at the front and looking down to bedroom three really gives you an idea at just how far back these properties reach - front to back the building measures 12 metres in total, and with an outdoor space that stretches around another 15 metres back, you can start to imagine the plot size that is available.
Condition wise, as seen with the images, it's fair to say that cosmetic improvements are necessary. The bones of the home seem to be okay, with a good heating system that clearly works, judging by how warm the house was when we arrived to take photographs! Of course, things like central heating and electrics are to be independently tested / surveyed should you wish to double down on their condition. There appears to have been a condensation issue at some point, but with no recorded history of damp, it's the Agents opinion that this is perhaps more to do with the previous occupiers living style, as opposed to a problem with the property itself.
To the right buyer, we feel this home is a fantastic purchase, and would be in excellent demand should you wish to re-advertise as a rental property once more. If you're interested in finding out more, please contact us and we'll be happy to have a chat through things with you and arrange a private accompanied viewing.
The property is Council Tax Band A, and benefits from all mains services including water, drainage, electric and gas, with a gas central heating system.
Rooms
Entrance Hall
The front door leads into an entrance hall area with doors that lead to the lounge and dining room.
Lounge
3.33m x 3.17m - 10'11" x 10'5"
The lounge is located at the front of the home, with a large window overlooking the paved front garden area. The chimney breast has the radiator mounted upon it, which could potentially be re-sited to give way for a wall mounted fireplace of some kind.
Dining Room
4.14m x 3.48m - 13'7" x 11'5"
The dining room is in the heart of the home, and has doors either end that lead to the entrance hall at the front, and kitchen towards the rear. There's a window that overlooks the courtyard area of the back garden, a chimney breast with a built in fireplace, and the staircase to the first floor. During renovations it would be wonderful to retain some of the character features found in this home - for instance the dining room has a beautiful ornate ceiling rose around the light fitting - a lovely little nod to the former style and personality of this home.
Kitchen
3.94m x 2.42m - 12'11" x 7'11"
The kitchen is located towards the rear of the home, with a door into the dining room, another that leads out to the courtyard at the rear, as well as a doorway / opening to the small utility area that leads to the bathroom. Condition wise, this room would benefit from a new kitchen being fitted, but what is there currently is useable. The current configuration shows the space to be practical with plenty of storage, with work surfaces and cupboards either side of the room.
Utility Room
2.42m x 0.75m - 7'11" x 2'6"
More of an area than a room, but worth noting as a separate entity to the kitchen - this zone has a cupboard with the boiler in on one side, with plumbing for a washing machine opposite. It's a walkway from the kitchen to the bathroom and has a window to the side elevation, and is a good spot for the laundry bits so they're kept all together, and separate to anything else.
Bathroom
2.43m x 2.22m - 7'12" x 7'3"
The bathroom is on the ground floor, right at the back of the home, accessible through the kitchen and laundry area. Currently fitted with a bath with electric shower over, WC and wash basin, the walls are fully tiled, and there's a window to the side elevation that looks into the garden. Again, like the kitchen, the area would be useable after a clean, but would most certainly benefit from being refitted and redecorated.
Master Bedroom
4.14m x 3.35m - 13'7" x 10'12"
Bedroom one is one the first floor, at the front aspect of the property, spanning the width of the property. The condition is fair to good, and would simply benefit from a spot of redecorating.
Bedroom 2
3.51m x 3.23m - 11'6" x 10'7"
Bedroom two is at the centre of the home, above the dining room, with a window that overlooks the rear garden. In addition to be a good sized second bedroom, in a fair to good condition too, the room also benefits from a good sized integrated storage cupboard, which is ideal hanging space for clothes.
Bedroom 3
3.95m x 2.44m - 12'12" x 8'0"
You need to step down into this room at the rear from the landing, which is classic and commensurate to the age and style of this home. At almost 4 metres in length, this room is an excellent sized third bedroom, providing ample space for furniture.
Garden
The front of the property is laid with concrete paving and an area of gravel, and is an ideal spot for dressing with potted place, perhaps a bistro table in the summer, as well as being plenty of room for storing bins.The rear of the property has a concrete paved courtyard area, which leads to a good sized lawn, with a pavement that runs alongside. There's a pathway which leads to the front, which would require some cutting back and maintenance, but serves as a handy feature for getting bicycles etc too and from the rear.
