Desborough Avenue, High Wycombe, HP11 2TH

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this three bedroom detached home on Desborough Avenue presents a clear opportunity for someone looking to take on a project and create a much larger family home.

The property has been largely unchanged over the years and remains in its original layout and condition, aside from updated windows.

It currently offers two reception rooms, a kitchen and downstairs cloakroom, with three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

While it is perfectly usable as it stands, the real appeal here is the potential to reconfigure and extend, subject to the usual permissions. The rear garden is a key feature.

It is large, flat and gives plenty of scope to expand the house and make the most of the plot. To the front, there is driveway parking. Sellers View...

"My mum and dad bought this house in 1969 and have lived here ever since.

The main reason was because my dad loved gardening and there was ample room for a family lawn and play area next to the house and also a good sized vegetable plot at the back.

This was my family home for the next 10 years and I have fond memories of growing up there. My brother and I would walk to school every day and later I would walk to work at the hospital.

Sadly my dad passed away recently aged 91 and we have moved my mum up to be with my family in Lancashire.

I hope that this will stay as someone’s family home although I expect that modern living will mean as a minimum a kitchen extension and conservatory will be added to the house and some of the trees that my dad planted will need to come out." Area View...
