Set on a generous corner plot, this spacious three-bedroom home offers well-balanced accommodation, new flooring throughout the ground floor, and a private rear garden — making it an excellent opportunity for cash buyers or investors seeking a property with strong potential and a solid return.
The ground floor has been recently updated with new flooring throughout, creating a fresh and contemporary feel.

Upstairs are three bedrooms — two doubles and a good-sized single — along with a wet room fitted with a shower area, wash hand basin, and WC.
The property occupies a corner plot with enclosed gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden features a good-sized patio area, perfect for outdoor dining or entertaining, with the remainder laid to lawn. There is also a block-built outbuilding and wooden shed, both fitted with electricity, providing useful storage or potential workshop space.

Taking the above into account, our Lettings & Property Management Department advises that an achievable gross monthly rental income is likely to fall within the range of £950pcm - £1000pcm, subject to any required works and compliance with legal obligations (accurate as of October 2025). This figure is intended as a general guide only and should not be used for mortgage or financial planning purposes. Rental values are subject to change, and a formal valuation will be necessary to provide an accurate market appraisal.
This property is of Woolaway construction — a type of prefabricated reinforced concrete build using concrete panels and frames. It is widely acknowledged that most high street mortgage lenders are unable to provide finance on this style of property. We therefore strongly advise all interested parties to seek guidance from their mortgage advisor before arranging a viewing. As such, this property is most suitable for cash purchasers.

We have not carried out a detailed survey, nor tested the services, appliances and specific fittings. Room sizes should not be relied upon for carpets and furnishings, if there are important matters which are likely to affect your decision to buy, please contact us before viewing the property.
Although these particulars are thought to be materially correct their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and they do not form part of any contract.
