This chain-free, three-bedroom terraced house sits directly opposite Lytchett Bay Nature Reserve, offering a rare suburban location with easy access to green space and regular bus routes. The property is freehold, vacant and ready for a buyer who wants immediate possession and scope to add value through updating.
Internally the house requires modernisation throughout: dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, general wear and tear, and some cosmetic upgrades are needed. The layout includes a lounge/diner, kitchen, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom across approximately 781 sq ft — a practical footprint for a small family or first-time buyer willing to refurbish.
Practical benefits include uPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, a garage in a nearby block and fast broadband. The area is affluent with good local schools (including Parkstone Grammar) and average crime levels; there is no flood risk and council tax is affordable (Band C).
This property is best suited to buyers seeking a project to modernise and personalise, or investors targeting a buy-to-let with refurbishment potential. Be upfront that the home needs work; buyers will benefit from immediate occupancy and strong local amenities once improved.
