A traditional 1930s semi-detached house on Rake Lane offering clear scope for improvement and value. The three-bedroom layout, two reception rooms and extended dining area give a family-friendly footprint of about 903 sq ft, with a driveway, detached garage and front and rear gardens. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern working-from-home needs.
The property is sold leasehold (approximately 904 years remaining) with a nominal ground rent of £4 and low council tax. The home has mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing of unknown age and cavity walls likely without added insulation — buyers should budget for thermal upgrades and general renovation. There are signs in the living room of a textured ceiling and possible damp that will need investigation and repair.
Location strengths include several ‘Good’ primary and secondary schools nearby and very low local crime. The immediate area is classified as a hampered neighbourhood within a very deprived wider area, so purchasers should consider long-term resale and rental prospects accordingly. No flood risk is recorded.
This house suits an owner-occupier family or an investor prepared to renovate. It’s a practical, value-led opportunity for someone wanting to put their own stamp on a traditional home — expect works to modernise heating, insulation, kitchen, bathroom and to address any damp or cosmetic repair.
