No onward chain and a generous corner plot make this three-bedroom semi-detached a practical purchase for first-time buyers or investors prepared to update. The ground floor offers three reception rooms plus a kitchen and bathroom, giving flexible living space and scope to reconfigure. A garage and side driveway provide useful off-street parking.
The property dates from the mid-20th century and needs modernisation throughout: cosmetic upgrades, possible heating/insulation improvements (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) and general refurbishment are required. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown; the main heating is a gas boiler with radiators. The overall internal size is compact at about 797 sq ft, so expect modest room proportions.
Externally the plot is a strength: a lawned front, generous rear garden with patio and shed, and mature hedging for privacy. The house sits in a residential area of Basingstoke with good local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but the wider area shows higher levels of deprivation; local schools nearby include some rated Good. Council Tax is Band B, which is relatively low.
This will suit buyers wanting a straightforward purchase without a chain and the opportunity to add value, or landlords seeking a rental in a well-connected town. Be aware of the renovation commitment required — bring a clear budget for repairs and possible insulation or heating upgrades.
