A Sensibly Priced Project Backing Onto The Park. If you’re not afraid of rolling your sleeves up, this two bed terrace will be an ideal first home where you can put your own stamp on the place. It’s got two double bedrooms and a big conservatory looking out to the private & leafy back garden. Property ref: KD0516

You could buy a finished home where everything has been done for you - but where’s the fun in that? This is the kind of project where every choice is genuinely yours - the colours, the finish, even the pace you work at to make it feel like your own.

And it does need work throughout - but it’s all cosmetic. The living room has a brick effect fireplace with a gas fire built in, chances are you’re going to pull that all out to give you a blank canvas and more room to work with.

The galley kitchen at the back has a range of fitted units and space for a small breakfast bar - all clean, tidy and well looked after but a little dated. It leads straight into the conservatory, which is easily the standout space in the house. At nearly 16ft by 11ft, it's a room you'll actually use, with a lovely views of the back garden.

The garden is properly private and backs directly onto Upperby Park. Sadly you can’t just hop over the fence (you need to walk round the corner to the park) but the garden measures around 15m (40ft) so there’s plenty of space for the kids to run about.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are genuine doubles and the bathroom has a shower over the bath.

Upperby Primary School is about a ten minute walk away, and there's a Spar just by the park for anything you need day to day. If you fancy stretching your legs, it's a 40 minute walk into the city centre - or just a ten minute drive if you're not feeling quite that energetic.

This is a house for first time buyers who want to build value through their own hard work rather than pay a premium for someone else's renovation. With the right vision, there's real scope and the chance to create a home that's genuinely yours.

If you want a project with a park on your doorstep and room to make it your own, this is well worth a look - get in touch to arrange a viewing before it's snapped up.
