Three-bed terraced house in Southdown — chain free and ideal for renovation and upgrading..
Chain free and freehold title
A three-bedroom mid-century terraced home in Harpenden’s sought-after Southdown area, offered chain free and ready for updating. The property provides a practical layout with entrance hall, downstairs WC, kitchen/diner, sitting room, side passage with store, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The plot includes front and rear gardens of a decent size, ideal for family outdoor space or extension potential (subject to consent).
This house suits buyers looking to personalise and add value: it is in need of renovation and modernisation throughout, with dated carpets, older fixtures and external areas that require tidying. The mid‑1960s construction with filled cavity walls and double glazing offers a sound starting point; the main heating is a gas boiler with radiators and there is no flood risk on this postcode.
Location is a key strength. Southdown is popular with families for its local shops, parks and excellent schooling nearby (including several Outstanding/Good rated schools). Commuters benefit from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and Harpenden station less than a mile away with a direct service to St Pancras.
Practical details: the house is freehold, of average overall size (c.1,047 sq ft), built circa 1950–66, has moderate council tax and very low local crime. Buyers should budget for a full modernisation and potential roof/front-garden repairs. For the right buyer this is a straightforward renovation project in a desirable, affluent neighbourhood with clear scope to increase value.
