3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Acton Gardens, Wrexham LL12

Realistically priced to reflect the need for general updating and refurbishment, the property presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to create a truly individual home in a highly regarded location. Its generous proportions and wealth of character provide an excellent foundation for improvement, with notable period features including high ceilings, pitch-pine internal doors, picture rails, decorative coving, Victorian-style fire surrounds and original herringbone hardwood-block flooring within the two principal reception rooms.

The spacious ground-floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a particularly generous bay-fronted lounge, a versatile second reception room previously utilised as a dining room, a fitted kitchen, utility room with downstairs WC and a sizeable conservatory providing a third reception space. The conservatory also offers potential to be incorporated into the kitchen to create a larger kitchen and dining area, subject to any necessary consents.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. Both principal bedrooms offer comfortable double accommodation, while the third is a particularly generous single room that could also accommodate a double bed, if required.

Outside, the property benefits from a largely private rear garden, a driveway extending alongside and beyond the house, and a detached timber garage. Altogether, this is a marvellous opportunity to restore and enhance a characterful Victorian residence, creating a fabulous family home in an exceptional residential setting. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the property’s generous accommodation, original features and considerable appeal and potential.

Conservatory

This generously sized conservatory forms an extension to the original house and is of part-brick, part-uPVC construction, with double-glazed windows and a polycarbonate roof.
