This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leafields offers a practical family layout and strong scope for improvement. The ground floor features a bright bay-fronted lounge and an open-plan kitchen/diner; upstairs are three bedrooms and a single modern bathroom. A garage with electricity points, driveway and off-road parking add useful practicality for families or landlords.
Sold chain free and set in a sought-after Houghton Regis location, the property is within easy walking distance of Tithe Farm Primary School. The loft has partial boarding for storage and the home benefits from gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002. Rental income is realistic — current market estimate around £1,350 pcm — making this attractive to buy-to-let investors as well as remodeling families.
Important issues are straightforward: the house needs renovation and modernisation to reach its full potential, and the hot water tank is located in the second bedroom which will limit immediate bedroom use without alteration. The area records higher local crime levels than average, which buyers should factor into their plans. There is a single bathroom and the plot and overall size are typical for a mid-20th-century three-bed semi.
With decent plot size, non-overlooked rear garden and a garage that could be adapted, the property suits buyers seeking value-add scope — extend, reconfigure or upgrade the interior to increase living space and capital value. Chain-free sale and practical utilities on-site (electricity points, outdoor water) make renovation or rental conversion reasonably straightforward.
