A TRADITIONAL three-bedroomed semi-detached house offers new owners the chance to put their own stamp on it with some updating and the possibility of extending to the side.

It is the first time that the Cumberland Avenue house in the Harrow Way area of Basingstoke has been on the market since it last changed hands in 1965.

Now it is being sold by estate agent Chequers for £255,000 and comes with a garden that has a vegetable patch and plum, apple and pear trees.

A cloakroom has been created from what was originally the front portion of the garage, and the dining area of the reception room has a patio door out to a sun lounge.

The kitchen opens to a rear porch and the family bathroom is on the first floor.
