This chain-free five-bedroom detached house sits on a generous plot in Mitcham and presents clear development and rental potential. Currently arranged as two self-contained flats (ground-floor 2/3-bed; first-floor 2-bed), the property requires renovation throughout but could be reverted to a single family home or extended to add substantial living space, subject to planning. A large detached outbuilding/garage at the rear has a planning application in progress to convert it into a 2-bedroom chalet bungalow with private garden and off-street parking.
The house is solid-brick (circa 1900–1929) with double glazing and mains gas central heating but is in need of modernisation: EPC rating E, assumed solid walls with no insulation, and general updating required. Practical positives include a decent-sized rear garden, off-street parking and fast broadband/mobile signal. The layout and plot make the site suitable for investors, developers or a large family willing to undertake works.
Important practical points: any loft conversion, side or rear extensions and the outbuilding conversion are subject to normal planning permissions or permitted development rights; the outbuilding conversion is currently progressing through planning but is not guaranteed. The property is in an area with above-average crime statistics, which should be considered alongside its affordability and clear scope for value uplift on renovation or redevelopment.
