This compact three-storey terraced home offers practical living and clear potential for a first-time buyer or investor. The rear garden is south-west facing and low maintenance, with a powered brick store; a covered car port provides off-street parking. Accommodation currently includes a double bedroom, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, bathroom and a glazed office/snug with far-reaching views. The layout could be reconfigured to create a second bedroom, adding rental or resale value.
There are important running-cost and retrofit considerations. Heating is via electric storage (Economy 7) and walls are assumed uninsulated cavity construction — upgrading insulation and heating would improve comfort and reduce bills. The plot is small and the house dates from the late 1960s/1970s era, so some cosmetic and energy-efficiency works should be expected.
Location benefits include good local amenities, several nearby schools rated Good, fast broadband and direct rail links from Andover to London. The local area is classified as higher-need with constrained renting pressures and average crime levels; buyers should consider local market dynamics if purchasing as an investment.
Overall this freehold townhouse offers a sensible, affordable entry to the market with immediate liveability and straightforward scope for value-led improvements. It will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance garden, easy parking and scope to add space or uplift energy performance over time.
