A three-bedroom semi-detached house in S5 offering practical family accommodation and clear scope for improvement. The property benefits from a rear extension that increases ground-floor living space, plus front and rear gardens and a detached garage accessed from Standish Avenue. The long lease (742 years) and low service charge reduce immediate tenure concerns.
Internally the layout includes an open-plan lounge/diner, a compact kitchen, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. Many original mid‑20th‑century features remain; the home is largely sound but dated and will reward updating — a sensible prospect for a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental income or capital improvement potential.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood context: the area has high crime figures and is in a very deprived local authority area, which can affect resale and rental values. The property is leasehold, has basic cavity walls (no known insulation), and some cosmetic and functional updating is likely required. Council tax and running costs are described as low, and broadband and mobile signals are good.
Overall this is an affordable entry-level semi with practical outdoor space and parking, best suited to someone prepared to carry out modest renovation or to an investor targeting a renovation-for-value opportunity.
