Extension Potential
Although the property already benefits from a ground-floor side addition, there is scope to do similar to some of the neighbouring properties which have undergone improvements in the form of double-storey side and rear additions, some having loft conversions too. the potential for renovations is just waiting for the right buyer to make it their own, subject to local authority consents. In the rear garden, there is ample space for an outbuilding that could be used as an entertainment room, home office, gym or 'teenagers den'. Obviously, any improvements of this nature will require the local authority's consent.
