Spacious detached house with garden and double garage — prime for refurbishment or rental.
Four double bedrooms including master with en-suite
This four-bedroom detached house in Orton Malborne presents a clear investment opportunity with immediate rental or refurbishment potential. The property sits on a decent plot and benefits from a large rear garden, private driveway and a double garage — practical assets for long-term value or lettings. Recent double glazing improves energy efficiency, and the layout offers good-sized living spaces including a full-length lounge and separate dining room.
The interior shows signs of its 1980s build: the kitchen and some fittings are dated and will likely need updating to reach peak market rent or resale values. There are two bathrooms (including an en-suite) which mean the house is ready for family occupation or multiple tenants, but cosmetic refurbishment and modernisation would enhance appeal and returns.
Location factors are mixed. The home is near several well-rated primary and secondary schools, which supports family demand, but the immediate area records higher crime and noted deprivation — factors investors should weigh when forecasting yields and tenancy stability. The property is freehold with no flood risk and excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity, useful for modern tenants.
Overall this is a practical, spacious detached house with strong structural positives (garden, garage, parking, layout) and clear scope to add value through updating. Buyers seeking a buy-to-let or refurbishment project will find the size and configuration attractive, while purchasers prioritising a turnkey, low-risk family home should budget for modernisation and factor local area challenges into their decision.
