This freehold semi-detached house offers a practical three-bedroom layout with obvious scope to add value. Located within walking distance of local schools, shops and bus routes, it comes to market chain-free and benefits from off-street parking and double glazing.
The interior is dated and requires full modernisation throughout — kitchen, bathroom and general finishes are tired and will need investment. There is a separate WC and an average-sized lounge and kitchen/diner; the property is suitable for renovation or as a buy-to-let with immediate letting potential once refreshed.
A 45ft rear garden and driveway provide outdoor space and parking, and there is realistic potential to extend (subject to planning permission) to increase living space and value. Buyers should allow budget for refurbishment work and possible updates to heating, electrics and finishes to bring the house up to contemporary standards.
This is a good opportunity for first-time buyers or investors who can take on a project in a well-connected suburban location. The modest plot and mid-1970s construction mean improvements will deliver strong uplift, but the property is not move-in ready.
