BER: C3 BER Number: Perf: kWh/m2/yr
PRICE: SOLD
Positioned half way along a quiet cul-de-sac within a mature residential development, this 1960s era family home enjoys a convenient location just a short drive or an easy walk from Shankill’s regenerated village centre.
Dating from an era when garden sizes and the average floor area of newly-built houses was noticeably more generous than those of contemporary new builds, 50 Foxes Grove features both spacious accommodation and a large back garden.
Home-hunters with an eye to potential will immediately appreciate that the size of the back garden provides ample space to follow the example of neighbouring home-owners by extending the rear of the house.
There’s further opportunity to create additional living space upstairs too, thanks to the presence of a conversion friendly attic, again something which has already been done in several neighbouring properties.
And the possibilities don’t end there, with an existing garage to the side of the property an ideal candidate for conversion into further flexible living space, such as a home office, playroom, workshop or den.
Having already been enlarged by the current owner with the addition of a good-sized kitchen and downstairs bathroom, at 106 square metres (1,140 sq ft), not incuding the garage or entrance porch, the property’s floor area is already larger than that of the average-sized three-bed semi-detached home.
In brief, ground floor accommodation starts with an entrance hall with outer porch, off which is a good-sized living room overlooking the front garden. To the rear, a larger than average dining room/lounge with French doors opening on to the back garden is laid out in open plan configuration with the adjoining but separate kitchen, which in turn leads on via a small hallway to a downstairs bathroom and garage, the latter currently in use as a storage/utility room.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which (a single and a double) overlook the front garden, while the third (another double), along with a family bathroom, overlooks the back garden.
Outside, that large back garden is laid out in lawn, with a sun patio immediately to the rear of the house and good-as-new (installed 2021) double-sized steel garden shed. The front garden is laid out in lawn with a gated hard-surface driveway providing off-street parking for two cars.
