Three bedrooms and two reception rooms, good layout for tenants
Requires full modernisation; kitchen and bathroom need updating
Cavity walls likely uninsulated — insulation recommended

Single bathroom only; may restrict larger family let appeal
Higher local crime levels — factor into letting/resale strategy
Freehold with very low Council Tax Band A
Sold at auction with no onward chain, 34 Westlands Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house offering clear renovation potential for an investor or hands-on buyer. The property occupies a decent plot with gardens to three sides and a driveway for off-street parking — useful for rental appeal or future resale after improvement.
Inside are two reception rooms (bay-fronted living room and separate dining room), a ground-floor kitchen ready for a full update, and a single family bathroom upstairs alongside three well-proportioned bedrooms. The house dates from 1930–1949, has double glazing (installation date unknown), gas central heating and cavity walls assumed to lack insulation, so energy and comfort upgrades are likely needed.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax (Band A), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for tenants or working-from-home occupants. Material considerations are that the property requires modernization throughout, will be sold at auction, and sits in a location with higher local crime levels; budget for refurbishment, possible insulation work, and cosmetic and mechanical updates.
For an investor this is a clear value play: low purchase price, decent room count and garden, and proximity to several well-rated primary and secondary schools. For a buyer seeking a family home, the property offers scope to create comfortable living spaces but will need a committed renovation programme to reach that standard.
