Mansfield Road, Parkstone, Poole

THREE BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE WITH LOTS OF POTENTIAL. THIS HOME HAS BEEN IN THE SAME OWNERSHIP FOR 27 YEARS AND IS IN A GREAT LOCATION WITH EXCELLENT SCHOOL CATCHMENTS. SOME WORK HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN, REDECORATION IS NEEDED BUT THERE IS LOTS OF POTENTIAL.

This 3 bedroom semi-detached property comes with loads of potential. Yes, some decorative work plus refurbishment is needed but it is priced to reflect.

There are great opportunities in this brilliant location. The back garden can be extended and the front garden can be converted to allow off road parking, similar to many of the neighbours. The loft also has potential to convert.

The home has been in the same ownership for the last 27 years and within the last 8 years the owner has had a new boiler, thermostatically controlled radiators, plumbing, selected new windows and a new kitchen.

The location is a key feature in this nice neighbourhood with excellent school catchments, a short walk into Ashley Cross, and close proximity to Parkstone railway station.
