Renovation project near Belfairs woods with garage and garden potential.
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached home, 861 sq ft
This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Gleneagles Road is offered chain-free and ready for renovation, presenting a clear opportunity to add value. Built in the 1950s–60s, the property sits on a small plot with an average overall size (about 861 sq ft) and a rear garden that opens to Belfairs woods and nearby nature reserve.
The ground floor features a large open-plan living/dining room with garden access and a semi-open kitchen; upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms and a single bathroom. Practical details include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls (assumed uninsulated) — expect energy-efficiency improvements to be needed.
Outside there is a front garden (potential to convert to driveway STPP), a shared drive leading to a garage, and off-street parking potential. The location scores well for local amenities, transport links and several nearby schools (including Outstanding-rated options), making it suitable for families or buyers seeking a renovation project near green space.
Key negatives to note: the house needs modernisation throughout, cavity walls likely lack insulation, glazing is older and the single bathroom may limit suitability for larger families without refurbishment. The plot is small and the build is mid-20th century, so buyers should budget for upgrades and possible planning if altering the frontage.
