Blank-canvas renovation with sizeable gardens in a sought-after urban location.
Three-bedroom early 20th-century detached house, freehold
A solid red-brick, early 20th-century detached house on Burgess Road offered as a blank canvas for renovation or rental refurbishment. The property is freehold, arranged over two storeys with three bedrooms, one bathroom and an 827 sq ft footprint suitable for conversion or uplift.
Internally the home requires full modernisation: dated finishes, worn carpets, older fixtures and likely upgrades to heating, electrics and insulation (cavity walls with no installed insulation are noted). The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, conservatory and a rear garden — useful for extending or improving living space subject to consents.
Outside there is a sizeable front and private rear garden and on-street permit parking. Broadband speeds are fast and the property sits in a well-served urban area close to good primary and secondary schools, shops and public transport — useful for lettings or family occupation. The neighbourhood is an inner-city, cosmopolitan mix including student households, which should be considered when assessing tenant demand or resale timing.
This is a straightforward project for investors, developers or ambitious owner-occupiers prepared to carry out comprehensive refurbishment. Buyers should budget for full remedial works and professional surveys; services and appliances have not been tested and all measurements are for guidance only.
