This smartly presented four-bedroom semi-detached house on Stanmore Lane combines recent updates with rental-ready credentials. A new roof installed in 2024, double glazing, cavity wall insulation and gas central heating mean lower immediate maintenance and good thermal performance. The property has a successful lettings history and is being sold chain free — tenants are due to vacate at the end of May 2025, making it straightforward for an investor or an owner-occupier.
Internally the layout suits flexible use: a bright living room, a contemporary galley kitchen overlooking the garden, a ground-floor bedroom/dining room with garden doors, and three further bedrooms upstairs. At around 725 sq ft the accommodation is compact for four bedrooms, with a single family bathroom and a ground-floor shower room — useful but potentially tight for larger households. The generous rear garden offers scope to extend, subject to planning consent, which could create extra living space or increase rental value.
Practical factors are clear and factual: parking is on-street (permit subject to local rules), council tax band C (affordable), and there’s no flood risk. The house is close to Winchester University, bus routes and local shops, and falls within popular school catchments including Stanmore Primary and Kings’ School. Average local crime and area deprivation statistics indicate a stable neighbourhood rather than a premium location.
This property will appeal to buy-to-let investors seeking an income-producing asset with improvement potential, or to buyers wanting a ready-to-rent, low-maintenance starter with longer-term extension possibilities. Important constraints are the small overall floor area for four bedrooms and the single main bathroom — factors to weigh when pricing or planning alterations.
