Property description
Looking for a 'fixer-upper'? Well, your luck could well be in. For sure, this modern linked semi-detached house is offered with the benefit of uPVC windows and gas central heating, but it does still need a fair amount of money spending on it to reach its full potential. For a start, you will no doubt want to rip out the existing kitchen and bathroom and replace them with 21st century fittings and while you're at it, you may just as well re-decorate and fit some new carpets. You may think that this all sounds very negative. Absolutely not. Looking at the good bits, one must appreciate the size of the plot, especially the good sized rear garden, which, in its heyday, was landscaped for ease of maintenance. Now, of course, someone is just as likely to come along and put the lawn back and add some greenery - it's funny how trends change over the years. Another thing, this property has decent entrance hall; something that sounds so basic, yet is lacking in many a modern home. Then there is the 23 foot through lounge dining room - not bad at all. Upstairs, both double bedrooms have double built-in wardrobes and even the single, third bedroom has a built-in cupboard over the stairs. Outside, you will never have to pick weeds off the coloured imprinted concrete driveway and there is additional parking in the single garage, albeit that the door frame is a bit wonky and needs fixing. Above and beyond everything else though, it is the location that really counts. Apart from the fact that it is located towards the end of a cul-de-sac (and therefore doesn't suffer from much passing traffic), one word sums up why it is so desirable -'MALPAS'. Apart from being within striking distance of local shops, restaurants and pubs, it is also within the catchment area for the highly acclaimed Bishop Heber High School. One of the main attractions of living in Malpas is the fast road link to the nearby market town of Whitchurch in the south, Wrexham to the west and the city of Chester to the north. There is a real sense of 'community' here and there is very pretty surrounding countryside with the foothills of Wales to the west. In summary, if you buy this property, you will for certain have to spend a bit on it, but at least you will have your own choice of kitchen, bathroom and decoration, safe in the knowledge that you have bought in the right location!
