This substantial detached house, currently arranged as three self-contained flats, presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a desirable location. With an asking price of £1,000,000, which is significantly below the local average at £615/sqf compared to £791/sqf, this property offers potential for value creation in the sought-after Poet’s Corner area.

The interiors are well-maintained, with bright living spaces and modern kitchen and bathroom fittings. The garden, while private, could be enhanced for added outdoor enjoyment. Planning permissions may be needed for extensions, but the existing layout and character of the flats present a solid foundation for further development. Overall, this property is a strong opportunity for those looking to acquire in a good location while benefitting from an attractive price point.
