The Property
21 Summer Lane is a semi-detached house built in the 1930s. Bought from new by the late owner’s parent, this property has never been on the open market. The house is need of substantial renovation and modernisation and offers a blank canvas for someone to turn into a pleasant family home or as an investment. Very few inter-war properties remain which have not been altered or extended so this is a very rare opportunity. (Please note that it is unlikely that this property will be suitable for a conventional mortgage).The ground floor has 2 separate reception rooms , a small basic kitchen off which is a WC and there is a dilapidated conservatory. Leading from the first floor landing are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom with WC. Attached to the house is a modern, single garage.The gardens are much larger than those usually found in a property such as this. The house is set back from the road with 2 lawns bisected by a drive which leads to the garage. The back garden is very large, as are the gardens of most houses in the vicinity which gives an almost rural feel when outside. Partly overgrown at the moment, this garden is effectively divided into 3 and is approximately 150 feet long in total.
