2 Bed Detached House For Sale

Redecorate, Recarpet, Reimagine - Is This Two-Bed Semi The Ultimate Blank Canvas Starter Home? Hidden away in a quiet, friendly cul-de-sac, this modern semi is ready for first time buyers or savvy investors to give it a fresh start.

If you're looking for a modern home you can make your own, this two-bed semi could be just the ticket. It needs a full redecoration, but the layout’s solid, the location’s spot on, and there’s plenty of potential to unlock even more space and value.

Tucked away in a quiet Irthlingborough cul-de-sac, it’s ideal for first-time buyers who aren’t afraid of a bit of weekend DIY or investors looking for something close to schools, shops, and fast trains into London.

Downstairs, the tiled lounge leads through to a fitted kitchen with space for a table and French doors that open to the back garden.

There’s also a wooden lean-to running down the side of the house, split into two rooms. It’s handy for storage but it’s worth considering whether you’d prefer to take it down and in doing so give easier access to the back.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a shower room. You'll likely want to replace all the carpets / flooring and give the whole place a lick of paint but that’s where the real opportunity (and fun!) lies.

Outside, the low-maintenance garden is part gravel, part patio and there's a shared driveway at the front with space for one car.

It’s only a 6 minute walk down to High Street. It has everything you’ll need day-to-day, with a range of local pubs, shops & takeaways, a Co-op, post office and even an Aldi.

If you prefer big name retailers, restaurant chains and multiplex cinemas, Rushden Lakes is only 10 minutes drive away - with a truly unique lakeside setting for a retail park.

The Stanwick Lakes nature reserve is even closer, it’s just 10 minutes bike ride or 5 minutes away by car. It has something for every fitness level, with over 7 miles of footpaths, regular fun runs throughout the year and a choice of more sedate activities such as birdwatching or fishing at the nearby Stanwick Fisheries.

And if you want to hit the shops or catch up with friends, Wellingborough is the nearest large town, it’s around 10 minutes drive away and also has direct train connections to St Pancras.

This modern starter home semi is far from perfect…but that’s exactly what makes it so interesting.

With a little vision and elbow grease, this could be the start of something brilliant.
