Chain-free and sitting on a generous corner plot, this 1950s semi-detached home offers clear potential for a buyer prepared to update. The house currently provides two double bedrooms plus a smaller third box room, a through lounge with gas fire, and a kitchen/diner that opens to mature gardens and driveway access. The property is being sold with a realistic price to reflect its need for some repair and modernisation.
For a first-time buyer or small family, the layout is straightforward and practical: entrance hall, lounge, dining area, kitchen, three first-floor rooms and a family bathroom. The gardens wrap around three sides, with double gates to a concrete driveway, shed and greenhouse—useful outdoor space and scope to extend (subject to planning). Heating is via mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed in parts.
Known shortcomings are honest and material: the house needs updating throughout and some repairs; internal decor and fittings are dated. It is leasehold (999 years from 1961) with a nominal ground rent of £9pa. Overall floor area is modest (around 645 sq ft) so space is compact compared with larger family homes.
If you are comfortable with a renovation project, this property offers a low-entry price, off-street parking and a substantial corner plot that could add value. Located in an established suburban area with good local schools and transport links, it is a practical canvas for improvement and future equity growth.
