Three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached on prominent corner plot
Set on a prominent corner plot in a comfortable, affluent neighbourhood, this 1930s semi-detached home offers a well-proportioned layout and clear scope for improvement. The property has three bedrooms, a separate front living room and a living-kitchen arrangement to the rear, with gardens wrapping around three sides and a detached garage accessed from Leyburne Road. The house sits on an average-sized footprint (about 1,156 sq ft) and has a solid period structure awaiting modernisation.
This home has been in the same family for many decades and now presents a genuine refurbishment opportunity for buyers who want to add value and personalise a property. Key positives include the corner plot, decent plot size, off-street garage parking, loft access with windows, fast local broadband and very low local crime. The layout suits a family seeking separate reception and kitchen/dining spaces or buyers looking to reconfigure and extend (subject to planning).
Important practical points: the property needs modernisation throughout—cosmetic and likely systems updating are required. There is a separate W.C and family bathroom on the first floor; two smaller bedrooms and one larger single bedroom may suit young children or a home office. While the area benefits from several good and independent schools close by, one nearby secondary has a weaker inspection outcome, so double-check school choices if that’s a priority.
For buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home, this will demand investment. For renovators, the combination of plot, layout and location gives scope to add contemporary living space and significant value. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the solid period bones, garden wraparound and extension potential (subject to permissions).
