A rare, never-before-on-the-market three-bedroom detached family home set on a sizeable plot in Radipole. Built in 1954, the house retains character features such as parquet floors, exposed beams and a spacious dining hall, yet requires full modernisation to meet contemporary living standards. The property offers clear scope for extension or reconfiguration (STPP) for buyers wanting to increase living space or create a bespoke family layout.
The large, mature south-facing rear garden is a major asset — lawn, established trees and privacy provide excellent outdoor space for children and family entertaining. Off-street parking and a detached garage with a studio/hobbies room above add flexibility for storage, home-working or conversion subject to permissions. Far-reaching sea views are noted from the upper rooms.
Practicalities: heating is partial (combination of central heating and night storage heaters), most windows are original wooden frames with some secondary glazing, and services are mains gas, electric and drainage. The house is offered with no onward chain, within a strong school catchment and close to Radipole Nature Reserve, parks and local amenities — attractive for families seeking space and potential in a highly regarded suburb.
Honest drawbacks: the property needs renovation throughout, some rooms have night storage heating only, and the wooden windows may require upgrading for insulation and maintenance. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs and potential planning requirements for any extensions or conversions.
