Offered chain-free and for the first time in over fifty years, this two-bedroom mid-20th-century terrace is a clear renovation opportunity in Maybush. The house provides flexible accommodation — two good bedrooms upstairs, a spacious sitting room, a second reception that could serve as a third bedroom, and a large kitchen/breakfast room awaiting modernisation.
The property sits on a decent plot with a private, enclosed rear garden and potential front off-road parking (subject to permissions). Its location is convenient for The General Hospital, Shirley High Street shops, regular bus links and the M3/M27 — practical for workers and commuters.
Material updating is required throughout: the interior and kitchen are dated, the property likely lacks cavity wall insulation, and some areas may need full refurbishment to meet modern standards. The local area is listed as very deprived with above-average crime rates, which should be considered alongside its bargain price and development potential.
This home suits buyers seeking value-add projects: first-time buyers prepared to refurbish, investors looking for a renovation to let or resale, or owner-occupiers wanting to personalise a long-term home close to local amenities and transport links.
