- Converted garage to utility and WC; driveway parking retained

This spacious three-bedroom semi offers generous living space, large gardens and clear scope to create a much larger family home. Full planning permission (24/02878/H) is granted for a substantial wrap‑around extension and loft conversion to add two bedrooms, a home gym/office and a large open-plan kitchen/diner — a major convenience for buyers seeking immediate development potential.
Ground-floor accommodation includes a bay-fronted living room, separate reception room(s), kitchen and a large conservatory overlooking a landscaped rear garden with established planting and a fish pond. The garage has been converted to a utility and WC, adding everyday practicality; driveway parking remains available. Fibre-to-the-premises broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working and streaming needs.
There are important practical considerations: the house has only one main bathroom and a separate WC, the walls are original solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) and energy performance is modest (EPC rating D). The local area records higher crime levels and features pockets of deprivation — factors to check for personal safety and insurance costs. The property lies within a coal mining area; specialist checks and a full survey are advised.
For a family wanting space, outdoor privacy and the option to extend, this property represents a high-potential buy. The planning permission reduces the usual uncertainty of major works, but buyers should budget for building works, insulation upgrades and possible remedial works revealed by a survey.
