A substantial 1930s semi-detached house offering a clear refurbishment project and strong upside for investors or hands-on buyers. The property’s generous ground-floor layout — large living room, separate dining room and adaptable kitchen — provides a practical canvas for reconfiguration to maximise rental yield or resale value.
Externally the plot is a standout: a large, private rear garden, attached single garage and a wide driveway with multiple off-street parking spaces. No onward chain simplifies purchase timing and makes the property suitable for a quick renovation programme or phased refurbishment.
The house does require comprehensive updating: cosmetic modernisation throughout, likely improvements to thermal performance (cavity walls assumed uninsulated), and system upgrades given dated double glazing and period heating. There is only one bathroom, limiting ready-made family use without extension or replan. The location benefits from good schools, fast broadband and strong mobile signal — practical advantages for tenants or resale.
Buyers should also factor local challenges: the area records very high crime levels, which may affect rental demand or marketing strategy and could influence security or insurance costs. Overall, this freehold property is a high-potential project for experienced renovators or investors prepared to carry out works to unlock significant value.
