Description

This detached house offers accommodation across three floors, with eight bedrooms or flexible study rooms and no onward chain. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, cloakroom, central dining room with a bay window, two further reception rooms, a kitchen opening into a conservatory, and a utility room with boiler and storage space. Five bedrooms are arranged on the first floor, three with en-suite facilities, alongside a family bathroom. Three additional rooms occupy the second floor, one currently used for solar-panel equipment. The house is described as liveable but in need of updating, giving a purchaser scope to improve the existing accommodation. Outside, the property sits on a stated 0.64-acre plot, approached through double gates to a large parking area. The grounds include lawn, trees and shrubs, as well as a private walled garden. A brick-built coach house provides two garages and storage rooms, and there is also a detached timber stable block with three stables. The listing states that the property is freehold, has gas-fired central heating and mains services, and is within the Downs School catchment.

Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £1,000,000, Southwood is priced well below the local average per square foot, making it an unusually attractive acquisition for a buyer seeking a substantial home to improve. This eight-bedroom detached house offers generous accommodation across three floors, multiple reception rooms and a kitchen opening to a conservatory, with a private walled garden, coach house, stables and ample parking on a 0.64-acre plot.

The project is a medium-scale update: the photographed interiors are liveable but dated, with scope to refresh decoration and flooring and modernise the kitchen and bathroom finishes. The main house and roof appear broadly intact, while the garden is maintained; the weathered stable block and some paving offer further scope for upkeep.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decoration and flooring across the photographed reception rooms and bedrooms.
  • Modernise the older kitchen and update the dated bathroom finishes.
  • Make the most of the 0.64-acre setting, private walled garden, coach house, stables and generous parking.
