Detached house for sale in Ruddington Road, Southport, Merseyside PR8

Overview

Decisions, Decisions...This is a spacious blank canvas in a fabulous location, near the hospital and retail park. But the substantial plot and double garage will get you thinking...do you just freshen it up inside or swap the garage for a side extension?

This three bedroom detached family home sits on a large corner plot on the entrance to this popular street. And the 375m2 (4,000ft2) corner plot gives you so much more space than the next door neighbours.

There’s a large double garage at the side which could be an ideal workshop or converted into a games room. After all, who parks their cars in the garage these days? Especially when there’s space to park several cars on the drive.

A light and bright conservatory has already been added at the rear but if you were feeling ambitious (and had the budget to match) there’s even scope to extend at the rear. A substantial extension creating more space at the rear and the side could transform this property, with the potential to create much more space on both the ground and first floors.

But before you get too excited, all this is subject to planning permission, of course.

The current layout has a spacious lounge at the front and a dining room with French doors to the kitchen and the conservatory at the rear.

The shaker-style fitted kitchen is quite modern but there’s every chance you’ll want to freshen it up and put your own stamp on the property before making yourselves at home.

Upstairs has three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The front of the property is low maintenance with space to park several cars on the drive. The rear has a large private and secluded lawn (with plenty of space to steal a few metres for an extension and still leave plenty of grass for the kids to play on)

Ruddington Road is in a popular part of town that’s on the edge of the countryside but convenient for the town centre shops, the hospital and retail parks.

Not that you’d need to head too far for your day-to-day essentials as there’s a parade of shops with a Spar, chippy and pub only a couple of streets away.

Kew Woods Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a 5 minute walk away, with both Meols Cop High School and King George V Sixth Form College within walking distance.

This three bedroom family home won’t be for you if you’re looking for a move-in ready property where there’s no work to do. But if you’re looking for a project where you can make somewhere your own, it could be perfect. You just need to decide if you’ll give it a quick lick of paint and some tlc or go All-In and get plans drawn up for something far more ambitious and life-changing!
