2 bed terraced house for sale

Cheam Way, Totton, Southampton SO40

Hamwic Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this spacious and well-proportioned two/three bedroom mid-terraced home, presenting an excellent opportunity for purchasers looking for a property they can modernise and refurbish to their own taste.

Requiring general cosmetic updating throughout, the property provides a fantastic blank canvas with generous accommodation including a separate living room, spacious kitchen/dining room, two genuine double bedrooms and an additional study/occasional third bedroom, which could lend to be converting to a larger Master bedroom.

Importantly, whilst cosmetic modernisation is required, the property already benefits from an updated Worcester gas combination boiler and updated electrical consumer unit, providing valuable improvements for the incoming purchaser.

Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed rear garden, detached garage and the particularly useful advantage of private rear vehicular access via a service road, providing additional practicality rarely found with other areas.

Offering plenty of scope to improve and add value, this would make an excellent first-time purchase, family venture or investment opportunity for buyers prepared to undertake modernisation.
