Walking distance to station and town — scope to extend and improve.
Chain free three-bedroom semi-detached on decent plot
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Guithavon Road is a practical family property offered chain free and within easy walking distance of the town centre and mainline station. The house sits on a decent plot with a private rear garden, detached single garage and off-street parking for several vehicles — useful for family life or a growing household.
Internally the layout is traditional and spacious: two reception rooms (dining room with bay window and an extended lounge with patio doors), kitchen with adjoining utility and a ground-floor cloakroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family shower room; bedroom one benefits from fitted wardrobes. There is clear potential to extend subject to planning (STPP) for more living space or a reconfigured layout.
The property requires renovation throughout. It is an older solid-brick house (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated solid walls and will benefit from modernisation, improved insulation and likely some electrical and aesthetic updating. There is only one bathroom and the home is rated EPC D. Buyers should note a high local flooding risk — investigate flood history and insurance implications before committing.
For families this is a practical purchase with good local schools, rapid rail links to London and straightforward road access to the A12/A120. For investors or renovators the combination of scope to extend, a decent plot and proximity to transport makes this a candidate for value-add improvement, provided flooding and renovation costs are factored into any offer.
