About
With bags of potential, this three-bedroom terraced house in Uckfield is ripe for renovation!
A 2-minute walk from the train station and centre of Uckfield, it has a great location in a quiet residential street and has already been extended to the rear.
If you've been searching for a home with character, potential and an unbeatable location, then 53 Alexandra Road in Uckfield could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
Tucked away on a quiet residential road with a genuine community feel, this former mill workers’ cottage was built in the 1800s and has been in the same family for generations.
It’s now ready to begin its next chapter. Location close to town The first thing you'll notice is the brilliant location.
You can walk to Uckfield train station in under two minutes, making commuting to London Bridge straightforward – and as it is the start of the line, you’re almost guaranteed a seat.
The bus station is less than a three-minute stroll away, with regular services to Brighton and Tunbridge Wells, plus a new hourly service to Gatwick Airport.
If you fancy a coffee, bite to eat, or a spot of shopping, Uckfield's shops, cafés and restaurants are all around a two-minute walk from your front door, so you'll hardly need the car.
Families will also appreciate the choice of primary schools within walking distance, the nearest being St Philip’s Catholic Primary School.
Uckfield Community College is around a 15-minute walk away and benefits from a Good Ofsted rating. The house itself hasn't been lived in for a few years, so it does need some tlc.
The important things have already been taken care of, giving you a solid foundation to create something truly special.
A new roof and trusses were fitted in 2006, while the property was rewired and a new boiler and heating system were installed in 2017, according to the current owners.
More recently, the flat roof over the rear extension was replaced in March 2026. The extension was added in 1984 and currently houses the bathroom.
However, many neighbouring terraced homes have chosen to move the bathroom upstairs, creating the opportunity for a much larger kitchen/diner at the rear.
Some of the pipework has already been started for a bathroom upstairs, with a towel rail already installed in one of the existing bedrooms.
There's even more potential on offer: Several nearby homes have successfully converted their lofts, demonstrating the scope available to reconfigure and expand the accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.
Whether you're dreaming of a loft bedroom or a home office, there's plenty of opportunity to make this house your own.
Original features and potential Inside, you'll also find some lovely features, including original fireplaces, with the downstairs fireplace remaining open – perfect for creating a cosy focal point on chilly evenings.
This is a chance to buy a property with a fantastic location, exciting potential and the chance to create a wonderful home for many years to come.
If you think 53 Alexandra Road might be the home for you, give us a call to arrange a viewing or drop Matt a WhatsApp on . We are open 7 days a week until late.
