**RARE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A BRICK BUILT HOUSE ON THIS SIDE OF COURTENAY ROAD THAT DIRECTLY OVERLOOKS HUMBER DITCH**


New to the market is this rare and sought after brick built semi-detached house that looks right onto Humber Ditch Green.

This is the first time the property has been on the market for 80 years, when the current family purchased the home, and it benefits from having no onward chain.

It is situated in a prime, elevated position in Courtenay Road, and is brick built so it is mortgageable.

The house has 3 bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom, and on the ground floor there is 2 reception rooms, a large kitchen and W.C, as well as plenty of storage cupboards. The
house has not been physically altered since it was built, but there is so much potential to extend (STPP), which many neighbours have already done.


POTENTIAL TO EXTEND (STPP):

DOUBLE STOREY SIDE EXTENSION: to create a 4th bedroom and possible ensuite

REAR EXTENSION: to create an even larger living space by knocking the two reception rooms together and going further back or reconfiguring the layout to move the kitchen to the rear to make a large kitchen/diner with possible sky lights and bi-folding doors all along looking out to the garden

GARDEN ROOM: to create a further place which could be used as a home office, gym or playroom etc

DRIVEWAY: similar to numerous neighbours, to create off-street parking

LOFT CONVERSION: to create an additional bedroom with ensuite

INTERNALISE THE W.C: by incorporating the W.C. and Storage room within the house and closing off that external side area, to create a W.C. off the kitchen as well as a separate utility room or possible office/bedroom.


The property does require modernisation throughout, however the house has recently been decorated throughout, so it is possible to move in and do the property up in stages should you not wish to modernise straight away.


LOCATION

The property is located in a very quiet and peaceful area of Courtenay Road, overlooking Humber Ditch, which is very popular amongst families, as it is close to numerous schools and within walking distance to the Village centre. There is a Bus Stop less than 5 minutes walk away, and Didcot Station (which connects to London Paddington) is only 7.5 miles away.
