Set on one of the largest plots in the Highlands Estate, this 1930s detached family home offers significant scope for improvement and extension. The house sits on a wide, deep plot with two driveways, two garages and a huge rear garden — rare features in this area that create parking flexibility, side-access and clear potential for further development (subject to consents). Located within the West Leigh School catchment and a short walk from Leigh Station, it balances family practicality with easy commuter links to London.
Internally the layout provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, a front lounge, a long extended reception/dining room and a sizeable kitchen. Original period details survive in places, including stained glass and wooden floorboards, which combined with the large plot make this a property with genuine character and extension potential. The property is offered with no onward chain and is suitable for buyers looking to invest effort to add value.
Important: subsidence affecting the rear extension has been identified. Prospective buyers should obtain professional structural and insurance advice and factor remedial costs into budgets. The sale is marked for cash buyers only, reflecting the remedial and possible renovation work required. The home has mains gas central heating and double glazing but walls are likely uninsulated, so further upgrade work may be needed to improve thermal efficiency.
This house will suit families seeking space and strong local schools, or investors/developers prepared to take on a project with clear upside. Viewings are recommended for those comfortable managing structural enquiries and refurbishment plans — the plot and location deliver the main long-term value drivers.
