Could This Be The Perfect Property Project If You’re Looking For An Affordable First Time Buy? It’s close to the station and the Common and whilst it does need a freshen up, it’s all cosmetic and you could move in and tackle it one room at a time.

If you’re not afraid of rolling your sleeves up and getting to work, this bay-fronted semi could be the perfect property project to get your teeth into.

It’s not too big, meaning you won’t be overwhelmed by the task in hand. But it’s not too small either, with a versatile layout and outside space that will be ideal for couples and young families.

It’s in a handy location, just off the A22 and less than 10 minutes walk to the station, making this property ideal for commuters. Fast and frequent trains to London Bridge and Victoria will get you into central London in around 40 minutes.

The train service is so good you may not need a car but if you do have one, there’s on street parking in front of the property.

Riddlesdown Common is literally around the corner and there’s a Tesco Extra superstore only a short drive away in Purley. Chances are you won’t need to head that far for your day-to-day needs. That’s because there’s a parade of local shops and takeaways - along with the popular Kenley Hotel pub - near to the station on Godstone Road.

There’s a bay-fronted living room at the front which looks out to the small, low maintenance garden. There’s a separate dining room and a fitted kitchen at the rear. The kitchen isn’t huge but there is a handy utility room (with a downstairs w/c) to make sure none of the kitchen space is wasted with appliances.

The two reception rooms will benefit from a lick of paint but both have attractive features you can work with, such as the fireplace in the living room and the wooden floor in the dining room.

In time you’ll probably want to update the kitchen’s fitted units and worktop but it’s fine for now, with a Belfast sink that you’ll want to keep.

The garden at the back will be a lovely place to sit out and enjoy the sun. There’s a paved seating area and a 12m lawn that just needs a bit of a tidy-up.

Upstairs has two decent size double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

As the bathroom is at the back, accessed through the rear bedroom it may suit couples and families with small children.

If you do have young children or are thinking of starting a family soon, the “Outstanding” Harris Primary Academy is less than 5 minutes walk away.

This two bedroom semi has plenty of potential but it’s not going to be for everyone. It won’t be for you if you’re looking for a move-in ready first time buy where it’s all been done for you and you can just put your feet up and relax.

But if you’re not afraid of getting the paintbrushes out it could be an ideal first step onto the housing ladder or a manageable btl investment where you can add value before your tenants move in.

I can see plenty of people getting excited by the potential on offer - if that sounds like you, call to arrange a viewing
