Set on Ilfracombe Road in Southchurch Village, this spacious 3-bedroom, 3-reception semi-detached home offers generous living across c.1,335 sq ft with a large rear garden and off-street parking for two cars. Period features such as bay windows and a pitched roof give the house character, while practical points — two bathrooms, mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown) — suit family life. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working and streaming.
The property is freehold and constructed circa 1900–1929 in solid brick. There is clear potential to modernise and add value — consider upgrading insulation (walls are solid brick with no installed insulation assumed) and refreshing interiors to suit contemporary tastes. The layout of three reception rooms provides flexibility for a home office, playroom or dining area while retaining comfortable sleeping accommodation on the upper floor.
Location strengths include nearby mainline train station, local shops and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools (including an Outstanding girls’ grammar). Flooding risk is low and the plot size and rear garden are notable positives for families seeking outdoor space in the town. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong, supporting commuting and remote work.
Be aware of material downsides: the immediate area scores as deprived with above-average crime rates, which may concern some buyers. The property will likely benefit from energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation, potential window upgrades) and cosmetic updating. Council tax band is not provided. For buyers willing to invest in upgrades, this house offers room, scope and location for a growing family.
