Set on a generous plot in the sought-after Empress Park area, this 1930s/1940s detached red-brick house offers roomy, flexible family accommodation and excellent scope to extend (STPP). The home currently provides separate living and dining rooms, a kitchen, cloakroom, three bedrooms and a single bathroom — all laid out in a traditional floorplan that will suit families or those seeking a practical commuter base close to Farnborough Mainline Station (Waterloo c.37 mins).
The property requires modernisation throughout: updating, redecoration and some repair work are needed to bring the house to contemporary standards. Energy Efficiency is currently rated E, and the house will benefit from investment in heating, insulation and finishes. For buyers happy to take on a project, the generous front and rear gardens and wide plot present genuine potential for a rear/side extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning) to create more living space and improve value.
Practical positives include driveway parking, a detached garage (19'8" x 9'3"), mature gardens and double glazing of unknown age. The location is family-friendly with several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, green space at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, and fast broadband for home working. Council tax is above average — factor this into running costs.
This house will suit a family or investor comfortable with renovation who wants a detached property on a large plot in an affluent, commuter-friendly neighbourhood. Buyers seeking a move-in-ready home should note the level of updating required; for others, this is a rare opportunity to add value through refurbishment and extension.
