Dating back to a time when new homes were provided with much larger gardens than is the case now, this 1950s era semi is an ideal choice for house-hunters seeking a home with bags of room to add extra living space.
Nowhere is this more apparent than at the rear of the property, where an exceptionally large back garden (circa 300 sq. m) provides plenty space to build on and/or extend, with excellent potential to more than double the size of the existing house.
While such improvements would be subject to planning regulation, there is ample precedent for this in the surrounding neighbourhood, where numerous homeowners have already done exactly that.
Located in a well-established development within easy walking distance of Newtown village centre, the ground floor of the existing house comprises an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, living room, utility room, a small kitchen, a well-appointed family bathroom and a good-sized downstairs bedroom, which could easily be repurposed as a home office, den, an additional reception room or other use.
Upstairs is a small landing leading to two large double bedrooms, both with windows overlooking the front and rear gardens, along with roof-height, timber-panelled ceilings, which enhance the already spacious feel of these rooms.
Back outside, those big gardens are largely set out in lawn, with mature boundary hedging to either side. There’s also a long tarmac driveway to the front of the house providing ample off-street parking for several cars, while the back garden has two sheds, one timber and the other built of blocks.
O’Neill’s Park is located a short walk from Newtownmountkennedy’s busy main street, which has been enhanced by the addition of many new shops, services and amenities in recent years, while continuing to retain its traditional village feel.
