Set on a generous plot in sought-after Garswood, 64 Rectory Road is a three-bedroom detached home with substantial renovation potential. The property requires a full back-to-brick refurbishment throughout, offering a blank canvas for a bespoke family home or a development project.
The ground floor currently provides a porch, hall, kitchen, dining room, living room and a versatile downstairs bedroom. Upstairs has two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is off-street parking, a single garage and front and rear gardens with scope to redesign outdoor space.
Significant works are needed: boarded windows, peeling interior finishes, suspected damp/mould in places, and ageing electric storage heating. Because of its condition, traditional mortgage finance may be unavailable; purchasers should plan for renovation budgets or consider specialist funding.
Location is a genuine asset — close to Garswood Train Station and the M6 for commuter links, surrounded by open green spaces and a range of local amenities. Nearby schools include a mix of Good and Requires Improvement Ofsted ratings. This property suits builders, experienced renovators or investors seeking a project in a popular residential pocket.
