Set back on a rare 0.19-acre tree-lined plot, this three-bedroom detached home offers substantial scope to create a lasting family residence. Planning permission is already granted to extend both ground and first floors, making this a strong proposition for buyers seeking uplift through enlargement and stylish reconfiguration.
The house retains working gas central heating, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, and double glazing (installed before 2002). Mature front and rear gardens, private driveway and a garage are standout features for this location — the long, level rear plot is ideal for landscaping, outdoor living or a significant extension footprint.
The property requires updating and renovation throughout; cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and the EPC is band D (62). The plot and permission reduce some risk for purchasers planning major works, but budget for modernization, insulation upgrades and potential structural inspections. Council tax is band E (above average) and the area records higher-than-average crime rates; buyers should factor this into local amenity and security plans.
Positioned between Farnborough and North Camp with fast broadband and good transport links, nearby schools include several Ofsted-rated Good or Outstanding institutions. Offered chain free and on the market for the first time in over 60 years, this is a hands-on opportunity for families or developers to secure a large plot in a well-connected suburb.
