Chain-free three-bed terrace with large gardens and strong school catchment — ideal renovation project.
Chain-free freehold mid-terrace with large front and rear gardens
Set in the sought-after village fringes of Aldbourne, this mid-20th-century mid-terrace offers a rare combination of generous front and rear gardens and a practical three-bedroom layout. The house is chain-free and freehold, with an affordable council tax band and no flood risk — appealing to first-time buyers or investor-buyers seeking village lifestyle and scope to add value.
Internally the property requires full modernisation: the kitchen and bathroom are dated, double glazing was installed before 2002, and heating is by electric storage heaters. The home retains traditional period character in its red-brick exterior and pitched roof, but expect cosmetic and mechanical upgrades (kitchen, bathroom, heating and possible rewiring) to bring it into line with modern standards. EPC rating D reflects current efficiency.
Practical positives include a useful outhouse/store, pantry cupboard housing the boiler, water cylinder storage on the first floor, and gated rear access. At about 852 sq ft overall the accommodation is a manageable size for conversion or improvement projects. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — worth noting if you work from home.
Local amenities and schools are strong: nearby Outstanding and Good primary schools, rural walking routes and basic village services create family-friendly appeal. For buyers who value location and garden space over a turnkey finish, this property presents clear potential to modernise and increase both comfort and value.
