This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Thompson Drive is a vacant, end-of-chain freehold with good room proportions and a decent rear garden (approx. 39ft x 32ft). Originally built for American military use, the layout provides comfortable living space—most properties of this type have been converted to three bedrooms and can achieve higher values when refurbished.
Key recent upgrades include a refitted four-piece bathroom with large 1600mm shower, a refitted cloakroom and a replaced consumer unit (RCD/MCB installed 11/09/2020). Practical benefits include off-street parking for two cars, a brick garden shed and a modest service charge of about £120 per year.
Investors or buyers happy to modernise will see clear potential: comparable refurbished examples in the area have sold for over £375,000. However, the property does require work — the kitchen, windows and the warm-air heating system are coming to the end of their useful life and will need replacement or comprehensive updating to improve comfort and energy performance (current EPC D, 66).
This house suits a buyer seeking value through renovation or a family wanting a spacious plot ready for improvement. It’s in a very low-crime, well-connected suburb with fast broadband and good local primary schools; council tax band C is affordable. Be prepared for renovation costs and to make the kitchen, heating and windows priorities.
