Summary - 24 DORMINGTON ROAD PO6 4BU
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home with garden and strong renovation potential.
Chain free three-bedroom mid-terrace, ideal for refurbishment
This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Dormington Road is a chain-free opportunity for buyers who want to add value. The house offers a separate lounge, a long kitchen/diner and a good-sized rear garden — useful for family life or rental appeal. Internal space totals about 877 sq ft across two storeys, with practical rooms ready for updating.
Important facts are clear: the property is non-standard system-built construction with assumed uninsulated walls and double glazing installed before 2002. These build characteristics can affect mortgage options, insurance and energy performance, and the house is described as needing modernisation rather than being move-in ready. The current shower room is modern, but most other fittings and finishes are dated and will benefit from refurbishment.
Location strengths include proximity to the local hospital, fast broadband, nearby schools (several rated Good), bus links and a low council tax band. The neighbourhood profile indicates young, hard-pressed families and higher local deprivation — a factor to weigh for long-term resale or tenant demand. The property is freehold with no forward chain, making it straightforward to transact for an able buyer or investor prepared to renovate.
Overall this is a practical refurbishment project for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor targeting rental income after works. Be aware of potential additional costs tied to the non-standard construction and the need for energy and cosmetic improvements before budgeting final move-in or letting condition.
