Subject of course to obtaining any necessary planning permissions and building regulations approval, this could provide an exciting opportunity for a new owner to adapt and extend the property to suit their own requirements and potentially create a much larger modern family home.

For buyers looking for plenty of space both inside and out, together with the opportunity to add further value and accommodation in the future, this attractive Capel-le-Ferne home has a great deal to offer.

Upon entering the property, a useful entrance porch opens into the main hallway.

To the front is the generous 15'5" x 13'10" lounge, providing plenty of room for family seating and furnishings and creating a comfortable main reception room.

The 20'5" kitchen/diner provides another excellent family space, with plenty of room for both cooking and dining and the potential to become a real hub of the home.

The accommodation continues into an impressive 19'7" conservatory, adding a substantial amount of additional living space while providing a wonderful connection between the house and rear garden. This versatile room could work equally well as an additional sitting room, family room, dining area or children's playroom.

Another particularly useful feature is the separate 14'6" x 8'0" office/utility room With home working now an important consideration for many buyers, this provides the opportunity for a dedicated workspace away from the main living areas. Equally, its proportions and position mean it could fulfil a variety of other uses depending upon the requirements of its new owners.

A ground-floor WC adds further everyday practicality.

Also incorporated into the ground floor is the substantial 20'4" x 9'3" attached garage In addition to secure parking, this offers excellent storage, workshop or hobby space. Subject to any necessary planning permissions and building regulations, buyers may also wish to explore the potential for adapting or incorporating some or all of this space into the main accommodation in the future.

Further Extension Potential
One of the property's particularly appealing features is the scope for future enlargement

The current accommodation already provides approximately 1,459 sq ft, but buyers looking for a project with the potential to create a substantially larger home may wish to investigate the possibility of extending the property.

Other homes within Capel Road have already been extended both to the rear and upwards, providing an excellent indication of the type of alterations that have been undertaken within the street.

Subject to the relevant planning permissions, building regulations and any other necessary consents, there may therefore be an opportunity to extend the existing ground-floor accommodation while also considering an additional first-floor extension. This could potentially create further bedrooms, bathrooms, larger living accommodation or a more contemporary open-plan family space.

For a buyer with the vision to undertake such works, the combination of the property's existing generous footprint, large garden, substantial garage and proven extension activity within the street makes this an exciting opportunity to create a truly individual family home.

First Floor
Upstairs, the sense of space continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms

The principal bedroom measures approximately 13'4" x 12'5", providing an excellent double bedroom, while the second is another generous room measuring approximately 13'4" x 9'0"

The third bedroom measures approximately 9'3" x 9'0", making this a very usable bedroom rather than simply a box room. It could equally make an additional home office or hobby room if required.

A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside
The outside space is another major selling point of this home.

To the front is a large driveway, providing excellent off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leading to the attached garage - a particularly useful combination for a busy family or household with several cars.

To the rear is a large garden, providing a wonderful amount of outdoor space for the whole family to enjoy.

Its generous proportions provide plenty of room for children to play, entertaining friends and family, summer barbecues, gardening or simply relaxing outside. For buyers who enjoy creating their own outdoor space, there is also plenty of opportunity to introduce dedicated seating and entertaining areas, landscaped planting, children's play areas or potentially a garden room or home office, subject to any necessary consents.

The substantial conservatory provides an excellent connection between the house and garden, allowing the outside space to feel like a natural extension of the home during the warmer months.

With a large garden, extensive driveway, attached garage and approximately 1,459 sq ft of accommodation, this is a property that offers genuine space both inside and out, together with the potential to create considerably more in the future.
