Gatacre Road, Cobholm, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, NR31 0BQ
Freehold | 937 sq ft (87 sq m)
The Tour:
Positioned within the established Cobholm neighbourhood of Great Yarmouth, this three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a property with genuine scope to refurbish and add value.
Behind its painted brick façade, the house extends to approximately 937 sq ft and offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. The entrance hall retains an attractive arched corbel detail, providing a subtle reminder of the property's period origins.
At the front of the house, the sitting room is a comfortable, light-filled space, while beyond lies a generous dining room centred around a decorative fireplace and offering ample room for family life and entertaining. The existing arrangement also lends itself well to reconfiguration, should a purchaser wish to create a more open-plan layout.
To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary-style units and connects to a rear lobby and ground-floor shower room.
The accommodation would now benefit from a programme of refurbishment and remedial works, including cosmetic updating, and presents a genuine opportunity for a purchaser to reimagine and improve the house to their own specification.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom spans the width of the house and is particularly generous in scale, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family occupation, guest accommodation or home working.
Outside, an enclosed rear courtyard provides useful outdoor space with potential for landscaping and further enhancement.
Offered to the market chain free, the property presents a straightforward purchase opportunity with significant scope for refurbishment and improvement.
