Description
This three-bedroom terraced house has a long open-plan reception and dining room, a separate rear kitchen and a first-floor family bathroom. The reception room extends the length of the property, with windows at both ends, while the kitchen has wall and base units and a door to the garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The accommodation is described as ready for updating, offering scope for a buyer to modernise it to their requirements.
The rear garden is approximately 81 feet long and mainly laid to lawn, with off-street parking at the far end. Lawns Park and transport links are within walking distance. The vendor states that the property has gas heating and is connected to mains sewerage; broadband can be connected, but there is no active service at present.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a well-kept three-bedroom terrace with a long, light reception/dining room, a serviceable modern-looking kitchen and a long south-west-facing garden with rear parking. There is scope to add your own finish through selective redecoration, updating the dated bathroom finishes and clearing the overgrown planting, rather than taking on a full refurbishment. The location also benefits from proximity to Lawns Park and good transport links.
At £425,000, though, it is priced above the local £/sqf benchmark, and the purchase price plus the estimated refurbishment midpoint looks tight against local value benchmarks. That makes the numbers the main constraint for a project buyer, despite the useful layout and outdoor space.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the two-tone reception finishes and patterned landing wallpaper to give the usable interior a more contemporary feel.
- Prune and clear the overgrown planting to make better use of the long south-west-facing garden and rear hardstanding.
- Update the dated bathroom finishes while retaining the clean, serviceable kitchen.
