Set on a quiet residential street in Beckenham, this 1930s three-bedroom terraced home is offered chain free on a freehold title. At around 1,527 sq ft it is unusually spacious for the area, with a through lounge, separate kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. A decent rear garden and scope to add space (rear and loft, STPP) make it a good fit for growing families wanting to add value.
The house requires full modernisation throughout — it’s a genuine fixer-upper rather than a move-in ready home. Evidence of dated fixtures, an older heating system and solid-brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation mean refurbishment and upgrading (including possible re-wiring, insulation and cosmetic work) will be needed to reach contemporary standards. There is only one bathroom, which may limit convenience until improved.
Location is a clear strength: excellent local schools (including two Outstanding-rated Harris primaries/secondaries), short walks to Eden Park and Clock House stations and easy access to Beckenham High Street’s cafés and shops. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working. Low local crime, very affluent area classification and a decent plot add further appeal to long-term buyers and families.
For buyers comfortable with renovation, this property offers strong potential to create a tailored family home and to increase value through extension and loft conversion (subject to planning). Investors should factor refurbishment costs into yield calculations. The house’s size, plot and location make it a practical project with attractive upside for the right purchaser.
