Tucked away on Botany Bay Road in Sholing, this chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached house offers a compact, practical home with private front and rear gardens and off-street parking. The property blends period features — a fireplace and traditional skirtings — with some modern updates such as a fitted kitchen and a refitted bathroom. Fast broadband and easy access to local shops and countryside walks make it well placed for commuters and first-time buyers.
The layout is efficient across two floors, with two double bedrooms upstairs and two reception rooms on the ground floor. The plot is a decent size for the area and the enclosed gardens provide useful outdoor space and scope for landscaping or a small extension, subject to checks. There is no flood risk and the home is offered freehold, simplifying purchase for buyers.
Buyers should note the home is modest in overall footprint (about 593 sq ft) and dates from the early 20th century. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) and some areas show signs that could need attention, including a mention of potential damp in one reception room — a professional inspection is recommended. While the exterior appears sound, front garden maintenance and potential internal redecoration or modernization would maximise the property’s appeal and value.
This property suits first-time buyers or those looking to downsize into a compact, characterful house near green space. It offers straightforward scope to personalise and improve, with the practical advantages of off-street parking, enclosed gardens and good digital connectivity.
