Description
This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Flaxton has been in the same extended family for close to 80 years and is now offered for sale as its owners move to single-storey accommodation. The property is described as tidy but ready for updating, giving a new owner scope to modernise it to their requirements.
The ground floor has a side entrance hall leading to a sitting room with an open fire connected to a back-boiler heating system, and a breakfast kitchen with fitted base units and space for a table. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a large bathroom. The house has a south-west-facing rear garden with timber sheds and a greenhouse, plus a detached garage at the front.
The property is freehold and has an EPC rating of F. Mains water is stated, with sewerage via a recently installed water treatment plant and broadband via telephone line. Buyers should confirm the condition and operation of services, including the heating system, and assess the updating required.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a tidy, usable period two-bedroom semi with a clear light-modernisation canvas rather than a major renovation. The long south-west-facing garden, detached garage and outbuildings give it character and scope, while the older finishes offer room to make the interiors your own. The asking price is £366/sq ft against a local average of £345, so it is not a cheap entry on this measure; with purchase and refurbishment costs together, the numbers also look tight against local benchmarks. The EPC F rating and back-boiler heating system are worth investigating.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated but usable interior finishes to suit a new owner's taste.
- Make the most of the long south-west-facing garden, with its established planting, greenhouse and seating.
- The detached garage and garden outbuildings add useful ancillary space.
Key risks
- EPC rating F and the back-boiler heating system warrant further investigation.
