Set on a generous plot in a sought-after Farnborough street, this detached two-bedroom period cottage offers clear scope for improvement and extension (STPP). The layout includes two reception rooms, a family bathroom and a private rear garden — a solid canvas for a family seeking long-term space in a desirable neighbourhood.
The house requires modernisation throughout: windows are older double glazing, heating is mains gas with radiator system, and the gardens and driveway need maintenance. That condition, combined with the property’s size and freehold tenure, creates potential to add value through renovation or reconfiguration subject to planning consent.
Local amenities and schools are close by, including outstanding-rated primary options and reputable secondary and independent colleges, making the location practical for families. There is no onward chain and low local crime, while broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for family life or home working.
Buyers should budget for refurbishment work and factor in planning time if extending. For those prepared to renovate, the house offers a rare chance to craft a comfortable family home in a convenient, well-regarded part of Farnborough.
