A mid‑20th‑century three-bedroom semi-detached house offering a solid layout and clear scope for improvement. The property includes a through hallway, good‑size lounge, large kitchen/diner with French doors to the rear garden, utility room with W/C, and an attached garage — practical features that suit a refurbishment or rental conversion.
The house requires updating: the kitchen dates from the 1980s and general finishes are tired, so expect cosmetic and possible mechanical works. The basics are in place with mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a refitted shower room, making this a straightforward project rather than a full structural overhaul.
Sold by the Modern Method of Auction: buyers must complete within 56 days and pay a non‑refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee. These extra costs and auction timelines are material and should be allowed for when budgeting.
For investors or buyers happy to modernise, the 1,020 sq ft footprint, three-bedroom layout, garage and garden represent clear value in a very affluent, low‑crime area with strong mobile and broadband connectivity. The property is freehold and sits near good primary and independent schools, making it a flexible opportunity either to refurbish for resale or add to a rental portfolio.
