This detached three-bedroom house on Barnes Road sits on a generous, level plot with parking and a detached garage — a rare find in BH10. Sold with no forward chain and set within a well-regarded suburban area, the property offers immediate possession and clear potential for a family to create a comfortable, modern home. The roof has been re-covered, the home benefits from double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators, and local schools (including two rated Outstanding) are within easy reach.
The interior requires comprehensive modernisation: the kitchen and bathroom date from the 1970s and fixtures are worn, decorating and some external maintenance are needed, and several outbuildings require attention. The layout provides two reception rooms plus a conservatory, offering flexibility for living and dining arrangements or home working. At about 925 sq ft, the house is average-sized but sits on a decent plot that would allow for garden improvement or extension subject to planning.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low flood risk, fast broadband availability, and off-street parking to a powered garage. Council tax is Band D. Consider this property for its plot, detached form and location—the purchase suits buyers prepared to invest in renovation to unlock greater value, or families wanting a straightforward project in a strong school catchment.
Material drawbacks are clear and factual: the home will need a full cosmetic and likely partial system update to modern standards (kitchen, bathroom, decor, external landscaping). Buyers should budget for renovation works and inspect services and structure as part of due diligence.
