Set on the edge of Gilcrux, this three-bedroom semi offers a rare mix of village calm and open field views toward the sea. The house is chain free and freehold, with a gated drive that accommodates three to four cars and mature side gardens that provide privacy and outdoor space for children or pets.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: two generous reception rooms, a fitted kitchen in a side extension, three first-floor bedrooms and a fitted bathroom. The property is average sized overall (c.883 sq ft) and benefits from fast broadband, very low local crime and nearby good primary and secondary schools, making it well suited to family life.
The house needs modernisation throughout and will reward someone happy to upgrade: dated decor, older heating arrangement (dual fuel boiler and wood), and likely uninsulated stone walls. The current EPC rating is band F, so expect energy-efficiency improvements will be needed to reduce running costs. Structurally the home is presented as a traditional solid-wall build (sandstone/limestone) and sits in an affluent, low-flood-risk area.
This is a straightforward renovation opportunity for a buyer wanting to create a cosy, long-term family home in a peaceful rural setting. With good parking, large mature gardens and sea-facing views, it offers clear potential once modernisation and insulation works are carried out.
