Chain-free three-bed needing renovation — ideal first-time buy or investor project..
Three bedrooms with 868 sq ft internal area
This mid-terraced three-bedroom house in Corby offers clear scope for improvement and strong appeal to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The footprint provides an adaptable 868 sq ft layout with a long living room, separate kitchen, utility/store room and three bedrooms upstairs — a practical arrangement for a small family or rental. The property is chain-free and freehold, with no flood risk and excellent mobile and fast broadband, supporting modern living and rental demand.
The home requires renovation throughout, so buyers should budget for updates to fixtures, finishes and possibly services; this is reflected in the asking price. The front lawn and small rear garden give outdoor space and there’s potential for off-street parking subject to necessary consents. Standard double glazing and gas central heating are already in place, which reduces immediate major expenditure compared to a full strip-out.
Location strengths include proximity to several primary and secondary schools (many rated Good) and local amenities such as shops and supermarkets. The surrounding area is classified as a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood with constrained renters and above-average crime; these social factors and area deprivation may affect resale value and lettings, so consider this when assessing long-term plans.
Overall, this is a practical, affordable starter or investment purchase for someone able and willing to renovate. The modest plot and average-sized rooms suit buyers seeking value-add potential rather than a turnkey family home. An on-site inspection is recommended to confirm condition, room sizes and garden extent before offer.
