A generous, extended semi-detached house offering flexible living across approximately 1,232 sq ft. Arranged as four bedrooms (with potential to provide up to six) and four bathrooms, the layout suits a larger family or buyers wanting versatile space — ground-floor reception/bedroom options and an extended kitchen/diner with direct garden access. The enclosed rear garden and a wide gravel driveway providing multiple off-street parking spaces are strong practical assets in this convenient location.
The property has been used as a student HMO and will need updating throughout; fixtures, finishes and some internal modernisation are required. The building dates from the mid-20th century, has double glazing installed since 2002 and mains gas central heating, but cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) and a renovation programme would improve energy performance and comfort.
Location is a major draw: close to Farnham town centre, Waitrose and Potters Gate CofE Primary School, with several highly rated schools nearby and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal. Offered freehold and chain free, the house presents a straightforward purchase for buyers prepared to refurbish — either to create a comfortable family home or to reconfigure for rental income given the existing HMO layout.
Be transparent about local context: the immediate neighbourhood mixes student accommodation and older residents, and recent data notes higher local crime levels than average. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs and consider security and insulation improvements when assessing overall investment and running costs.
