This traditional three-bedroom semi-detached home on St. Johns Avenue is offered chain-free and ready for a buyer seeking scope to improve and personalise. Situated in a popular residential pocket of Syston, it sits close to Merton Primary School, local bus routes and Syston town centre amenities — practical for family life and daily commuting.
The house requires modernisation throughout, but key practical items are already in place: gas central heating with a boiler installed in 2021, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The footprint is compact (around 685 sq ft), making it manageable for a family or a buyer looking to downsize while still wanting three bedrooms. There is potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning consents, which could add significant living space and value.
Outside, the plot includes a driveway, garage and a decent rear garden that offers scope for landscaping and entertaining. The property has had the same long-term owners since the 1960s, so some aspects will need updating; purchasers should budget for renovation work and investigate any modernisation costs before proceeding.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a project in a very low-crime, affluent suburb with fast broadband and good local schools. It’s a straightforward freehold purchase with council tax band C; viewings are by appointment only.
