Newbury Drive, Stretton

Situated on a corner plot in the popular area of Stretton, this four-bedroom detached house presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a property they can completely transform. The home requires full modernisation throughout, with many of the fittings, fixtures, and windows still original, making it particularly appealing to investors or those seeking a substantial renovation project.

The ground floor features a practical layout with a spacious living room that stretches the depth of the property, a separate kitchen, and a convenient downstairs WC. Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing plenty of scope to reconfigure or refresh to suit modern needs.

While the house is very much in need of work, its layout, location, and overall footprint give it strong potential to become a comfortable and well-proportioned family home once refurbished. This is a great opportunity for someone with vision who is prepared to take on a project and bring the property back to life.

The property will be entered into an online timed auction with SDL for Monday 22nd with a three-week completion set for Monday 12th January.
