Description

This three-bedroom detached character house from the 1930s presents an exceptional opportunity for cash buyers seeking a refurbishment project. Having been in the same family for decades, the property has unfortunately fallen into disrepair, making it ideal for those with the vision and skills to transform it into a modern home. The ground floor features a spacious lounge, dining room, sitting room, shower room, kitchen, and a third bedroom, while the first floor offers two large double bedrooms with significant potential for extension into the eaves. The garden, measuring approximately 95 feet, is currently overgrown but could become a stunning outdoor space once cleared. Additional benefits include a garage and off-road parking, all within walking distance of Bromley town centre's diverse shops, bars, and restaurants. Viewing is strictly by appointment with the sole selling agent.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom detached house, steeped in 1930s character, presents a unique project opportunity for those looking to create their dream home. With an asking price of £650,000, this property is priced below local averages at £445/sqf, making it an attractive acquisition for savvy buyers willing to take on a significant refurbishment project. The extensive wear visible throughout the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen suggests a full overhaul is needed, but this also provides the chance to reimagine the space to your own taste and standards.

The large garden, measuring approximately 95ft, is currently overgrown but holds immense potential once cleared. Additionally, the possibility to extend into the eaves of the first-floor bedrooms could significantly enhance the property's value and livability. This project is perfect for cash buyers looking to invest time and creativity into a home that can truly shine with the right vision and effort. However, be prepared for a comprehensive renovation journey as the interiors and exteriors are in need of extensive updates, which will require a budget of £100,000 to £200,000.

Key opportunities

  • Large garden with potential to create a beautiful outdoor space once cleared.
  • Opportunity to extend into the eaves of the first-floor bedrooms, enhancing living space.
  • Character features typical of 1930s homes, which can be restored to add charm.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
