3 bed terraced house for sale

Hobart Road, Heath Hayes WS12

Ref: JC0739 - Let's be honest... Finding a house with potential normally means you're about to inherit avocado bathrooms, orange carpets and a kitchen that's older than your favourite pub.

Thankfully, that's not the case here.

Hobart Road is one of those homes that's been properly looked after. It's clean, it's tidy, it's completely liveable from day one... But it also gives you the chance to make it your own when the time (and the budget) is right.

Better still, there's no chain, so once everything's agreed, nobody's sat three houses up the chain deciding whether they're moving this year or next.

Step through the front door and you're greeted by a welcoming entrance hall with plenty of space for shoes, coats and all the other bits that somehow multiply overnight.

The lounge is a cracking size too. Plenty of room for the corner sofa you've convinced yourself is "definitely going to fit", enough space for family movie nights, or simply somewhere to collapse after work with a takeaway and something cold in hand.

Head through into the kitchen and you'll find exactly what many buyers are looking for. It's perfectly usable as it stands, so there's no panic to rip everything out the day you get the keys. Live with it, work out what you really want and then create your dream kitchen when you're ready. That's usually a much better idea than making expensive decisions in week one anyway.

Upstairs is where this house has a little trick up its sleeve.

Originally built as a two-bedroom home, the owners have cleverly divided the main bedroom with a stud wall to create two separate rooms. Whether you've got children, work from home, fancy a dressing room, or just need somewhere to banish the ironing board, it works brilliantly.

Of course, if your dream has always been a huge main bedroom, it wouldn't take much to remove the stud wall and return it to its original layout. It's nice having the choice rather than being stuck with one option.

The second double bedroom is another generous room while the shower room has already had the expensive bit done, with a modern walk-in shower replacing the old bath.

Outside, things get even better.

The garden has been thoughtfully laid out with different areas to enjoy depending on the weather. Morning coffee, summer BBQs, somewhere for the dog to patrol like it's protecting Buckingham Palace... It's all here. The established borders add plenty of colour throughout the year, there's a useful brick-built store for bikes and garden tools, and parking to the rear, which is always a bonus.

One thing we particularly like about this home is something you can't change... And thankfully don't need to.

The drone photos tell the story far better than we can. Instead of staring straight into another row of houses, you've got mature trees and open green space in front of you. It gives the whole place a much more open feel and is one of those little things you'll appreciate every single day.

So, if you're looking for a home you can move straight into, improve over time, and maybe even add a bit of value along the way, we'd make sure this one's on your viewing list.

Just don't blame us when you start measuring up where the sofa's going.
