Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached house, offered with no onward chain, is situated in a convenient residential area of Guildford. The property features off-street parking for two vehicles and a generous rear garden, presenting an excellent opportunity for a new owner to modernize and personalize the space according to their preferences. Entering through the front door, you are greeted by an entrance hall that leads to the bright sitting room, which benefits from a large front-facing window that fills the space with natural light. At the rear, the kitchen/dining room is functional, equipped with a range of fitted units and space for a small dining table, along with direct access to the garden. On the first floor, the main bedroom is a spacious double room offering views towards the cathedral, while the second bedroom is a versatile single or small double room overlooking the rear garden. Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom fitted with a white suite and a shower over the bath. There is potential to extend into the loft and at the rear, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. This could enhance both living and bedroom space to better suit the needs of the new owner. The exterior includes off-street parking for two cars, with gated side access leading to the expansive garden. The enclosed garden features a paved terrace adjoining the house, a lawn area, planted borders, a timber shed, and a greenhouse. Located on Fentum Road, this home is just meters away from a local park that includes a gym, playground, and junior football club. Additionally, it benefits from good public transport links to Guildford town centre and nearby amenities such as shops, restaurants, schools, and healthcare facilities. The A3, Guildford train station, University of Surrey, Royal Surrey County Hospital, and Surrey Research Park are all easily accessible. Guildford itself offers a wide selection of shops and leisure facilities while being surrounded by beautiful greenbelt countryside.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This two-bedroom semi-detached home in Guildford presents a solid opportunity for those looking to invest in a property that requires modernization. With an asking price of £350,000, it is priced reasonably at £500/sqf, which aligns closely with the local average. However, potential buyers should note that the all-in costs, which include renovation estimates ranging from £30,000 to £60,000, appear tight against local benchmarks, suggesting a careful approach to budgeting is needed.

The property boasts a spacious garden and off-street parking, providing excellent potential for enhancements, especially as there is scope for extensions subject to planning permission. The interior shows signs of wear and tear but remains functional, making it a blank canvas for personalization. Given the good location and no onward chain, this could be an appealing project for someone looking to create their ideal home while adding value in the process.
