This detached chalet-style house in Shirley offers flexible, adaptable accommodation across two floors and a decent plot — front and rear gardens plus a garage in a block. The layout includes two reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen, three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom. At about 1,237 sq ft, the home is well-proportioned for family living or for conversion to add value.
The property is in need of modernisation throughout: dated fixtures, mid-20th-century decor, and assumed cavity walls with no insulation. The boiler and radiators run on mains gas and there is double glazing, although install dates are unknown. These issues present both a practical renovation task and an opportunity to improve energy performance and bring the house up to contemporary standards.
Sold freehold at public auction (notice of repossession applies), the purchase route suits buyers able to progress quickly and comfortable with auction terms — there is an admin fee payable on exchange and buyers should consult the legal pack for disbursements. Local amenities, good mobile and broadband, and nearby secondary schools rated Good add to the property’s appeal for families or investors targeting rental demand.
Be realistic about costs: cosmetic updating will be required across rooms, and potential buyers should factor in insulation, décor refresh, and likely modernisation of kitchen and bathrooms. For someone seeking a project in a popular Shirley location, this house offers scope to create a comfortable family home or a renovated investment with uplift potential.
