Generous garden and garage, ready for a thoughtful modernisation.
Spacious three-bedroom detached layout with office space
This roomy three-bedroom detached home in Southwater offers a generous footprint and a large private rear garden, ideal for families who want outside space and scope to extend (subject to planning). The property sits in a quiet cul-de-sac close to Southwater Country Park and local shops, with excellent commuter links and fast broadband for home working.
Internally the layout is traditional and adaptable: a long living room with separate dining area, a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility and conservatory, plus an office that could suit regular home working. An integrated garage and driveway provide convenient off-street parking. Many original 1950s–1970s features remain, giving character and a clear starting point for a modernisation project.
The house does need renovation and updating throughout; finishing works and cosmetic upgrades are required to bring systems and finishes up to modern standards. There is a single bathroom/shower room and council tax is above average, which are practical considerations for buyers. For those wanting extra space, the large garden and plot give potential for a rear extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning permission).
For families, the location is a strong draw: several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby and the Country Park offers lakes, trails and play facilities. Buyers seeking a move-in-ready home should note the refurbishment requirement, while those looking to add value or tailor a long-term family home will find substantial potential here.
