3 bedrooms with original floorboards and fireplaces
Large elevated corner plot with detached garage and parking

Freehold, Band B council tax; no flood risk
Set on an elevated corner plot in Bishop’s Castle, this solid mid‑20th‑century semi offers clear potential for families, investors or developers. The house provides sensible, well‑proportioned rooms across two floors — three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, shower room and a rear conservatory porch — and benefits from a large garden, detached garage and off‑road parking with expansive town and countryside views. Its freehold tenure and Band B council tax add further appeal.
The property requires a full scheme of refurbishment. Heating is currently by electric storage heaters (an oil boiler is also present but untested) and the cavity walls appear to lack insulation, so buyers should budget for heating and insulation upgrades and possible kitchen and bathroom renewal. The double glazing is in place but install date is unknown. The house was built in the 1950s–60s and retains original features such as timber floorboards and fireplaces, offering scope for sympathetic improvement or extension subject to permissions.
This location is convenient for town amenities and well‑regarded local schools, while surrounding countryside and walking routes are close by. The house is best suited to purchasers looking for a renovation project who will value the site, views and garage, or to investors and developers seeking a property with extension potential. Material drawbacks are clear: required refurbishment, likely heating/insulation upgrades and the costs associated with modernising a post‑war house in a deprived local area.
Viewings will suit anyone prepared to take on a renovation — if you want a prominent plot with scope to improve space, energy efficiency and finishes, this house offers a rare opportunity in the town.
