A practical three-bedroom end-of-terrace on a quiet Kennington close, offered freehold with around 909 sq ft of living space. The ground-floor extension creates a larger living/dining area that suits family life or shared living; the enclosed rear garden is private and low-maintenance. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, and Ashford’s rail links and several well-rated schools are within easy reach.
The house is most appropriate for first-time buyers, young families or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, affordable property with scope to improve. Construction dates from the 1980s; the cavity walls are assumed insulated and mains gas central heating serves boiler and radiators. Sold at a realistic price point, it offers immediate occupancy with straightforward updating.
Buyers should note a few material points: the asphalt roof shows signs of needing maintenance, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. The plot and gardens are small, and there is a single family bathroom only. The location sits in a higher-crime, more deprived ward, which some purchasers will want to consider alongside the lower asking price and good transport links.
Overall this is a solid entry-level purchase with honest potential: live in as-is, carry out modest improvements, or refurbish to increase rental or resale value. Viewing will show how the extended ground floor and private outdoor space suit everyday needs.
