Description
This chain-free three-bedroom 1930s terraced house has a bay-fronted reception room, a separate dining room with access to the rear garden, and a kitchen described as having scope for modernisation. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. The property retains its original proportions and the listing notes potential to reconfigure or extend, subject to the necessary permissions and checks.
The rear garden is stated to extend to more than 100 feet, with lawn, a patio and mature planting. At the front, a block-paved driveway provides off-street parking. Leagrave Station, local shops, parks and schools are noted as being nearby. The property has an EPC rating of D.

Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a tidy 1930s bay-fronted home with a particularly appealing 100-foot garden, driveway and useful commuter links. The photographed interiors look clean and serviceable, so the clearest immediate project is to clear and landscape the overgrown garden; the listing also describes scope to extend or reconfigure, subject to planning permission, though no feasibility is established. The £300,000 asking price is about £398/sq ft against a local average of £358, so it is not a cheap entry point. With the stated light refurb range of £3,000–£8,000, purchase plus refurb costs look tight against local benchmarks, tempering the appeal for a value-focused project buyer.
Key opportunities
- Clear and landscape the overgrown 100-foot garden, improving the lawn and patio while making better use of the mature planting.
- Explore the advertised extension or reconfiguration potential, subject to planning permission and feasibility.
- Build on the bay-fronted character, driveway and clean, serviceable interiors as a strong base for a tailored family home.
Key risks
- The asking price is above the local £/sq ft average, and purchase plus refurb costs look tight against local benchmarks.
- The condition of the small garden outbuilding is unclear.
