We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Harrisons Estate Agent Solutions are please to introduce to the market this mid-terrace period house offering an excellent opportunity for complete refurbishment and modernisation.
Arranged over two floors, the property provides flexible accommodation and clear scope for reconfiguration, making it well suited to owner-occupiers, developers, or investors seeking a value-add project.
The ground floor currently comprises two reception rooms, including a front reception with a bay window, along with a kitchen positioned to the rear of the property.
There is no WC or bathroom on the ground floor, and the layout offers potential to be reworked to improve flow and functionality, subject to the necessary consents.
To the first floor, the property offers a landing providing access to multiple bedrooms and a combined shower room with WC.
The bathroom accommodation is dated and requires full refurbishment, but provides a basis for replacement or redesign as part of a comprehensive renovation scheme.
Throughout, the property is in poor condition and requires extensive works to all rooms, services, and finishes.
This presents a blank canvas for a purchaser looking to carry out a full refurbishment and tailor the property to their own requirements.
Externally, the property benefits from a rear garden of reasonable length, currently overgrown, offering potential for landscaping or extension, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
To the front, there is a small forecourt typical of properties of this type and age.
The property is situated on Whippendell Road, a well-established residential location within convenient reach of Watford town centre, local amenities, schools, and transport links.
Once refurbished, the property would appeal to a wide range of buyers or tenants. Offered for sale with no onward chain.
Overall, this is a character property with clear potential for improvement, offering the opportunity to create a modern home or investment in a popular and well-connected location.
An open house is scheduled for Saturday 31st January from 10:00am to 15:00pm. Viewings are by pre-booked appointment only via Harrisons.
