Chain-free three-bed with large garden — ideal for first-time buyers ready to renovate.
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house
A three-bedroom semi-detached house in a well-regarded L23 area, offered chain-free and ideal for first-time buyers or young families seeking a starter home with scope. The layout includes two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and a generously sized rear garden — a rare outdoor asset for this type of property.
The house retains period character (built 1930–1949) with features such as a front bay window and fireplace, but it requires renovation throughout; décor and services are dated and the property is sold needing refurbishment. There is double glazing and mains gas central heating currently in place, while the loft offers potential for future extension (subject to consents).
Practical positives include freehold tenure, affordable council tax (Band C), fast local broadband and very low local crime. Important considerations: overall internal size is modest (approx. 727 sq ft), there is a single family shower room, walls are solid brick with assumed no added insulation, and an EPC is pending. Buyers should budget for a programme of modernisation, possible insulation upgrades and cosmetic works to realise the property’s potential.
Located close to good schools, local amenities and transport links, the house suits buyers who want a manageable project with garden space and room to grow. For those prepared to refurbish, this home offers long-term value in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood.
