Affordable starter home with decent garden and clear renovation potential.
- Three bedrooms, compact two-storey layout
A three-bedroom semi on Guilbert Avenue offered chain-free and ready for a buyer who will invest in improvement. The house sits on a decent plot with gardens front and rear and a patio that overlooks open views to the rear. Internally the accommodation is compact across two storeys and would benefit from comprehensive modernisation to reach current standards.
This freehold home has practical essentials in place: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and basic kitchen and bathroom fittings. The property’s size and condition mean it will suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor/developer looking for a value-add refurbishment project.
Be straightforward about risks: the house requires updating throughout, the construction shows post‑war system build with assumed lack of wall insulation, and the wider area records high crime and very high deprivation indices. Prospective buyers should factor in renovation costs and arrange full surveys and service checks before committing. Council tax is very low, and there is no flood risk.
With a realistic budget for works, this property offers potential for uplift through cosmetic and thermal improvements, landscaping of the garden, and internal reconfiguration where desired. The chain-free position makes it quicker to exchange once purchase terms are agreed.
