This 1930s semi-detached house offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. With three bedrooms, this home is set on a corner plot, which not only provides privacy but also opens the door to potential expansion, subject to planning permissions. The property is being sold via online auction on behalf of the estate executor, making it an ideal candidate for cash buyers seeking a project. Located in the desirable Downley area, the home benefits from its proximity to local amenities, including shops for everyday needs and educational facilities such as a primary school.

Furthermore, High Wycombe town center is approximately two miles away, featuring an array of shopping and leisure options as well as a mainline railway station that provides direct services to London Marylebone. The layout includes an entrance hall leading to various living spaces in need of modernization. The lounge offers front-facing views through double-glazed windows, while the kitchen/diner is equipped with basic fixtures and has potential for reconfiguration or complete renovation. A separate bathroom and WC are also in need of updating. Upstairs, the bedrooms maintain original period features such as cast iron fireplaces and picture rails while offering spacious accommodations filled with natural light from double-glazed windows. The exterior features mature gardens that extend around the property and include a driveway providing off-road parking—an attractive aspect for future alterations or landscaping projects. Overall, this property presents an excellent investment opportunity for those willing to undertake renovations and make it their own or capitalize on its improvement potential in a sought-after location.
