Set on a generous plot in a popular Wrexham suburb, this 1930s detached home offers clear scope to create a larger, modern family house (subject to planning). The layout includes a bay-fronted living room, a bright triple-aspect sitting/dining room that opens to the kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are already in place.
The standout external features are the long rear garden of over 100ft, gated driveway with ample off-street parking and a brick-built detached garage with power and lighting. These outdoor assets give space for extension, substantial landscaping, or a garden-focused redesign that will add value.
The property requires modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely some updating of services — but is offered with no onward chain, making it easier to move forward quickly. For first-time buyers or buyers seeking renovation potential, the house represents a straightforward project with good structural fundamentals and planning upside in a well-connected, low-crime suburb.
Location benefits include easy access to local shops, schools, bus routes and nearby rail connections, plus straightforward road links to the A483 for commuting to Chester and beyond. The area is an established residential suburb serving a mix of ageing families and downsizers, so the home will particularly suit buyers planning investment, extension or long-term occupation.
