Description

For sale for the first time on the open market, with the family owners moving in just prior to the World Cup in 1966. Built as Local Authority housing circa 1920's/1930's, this semi detached house occupies a sizeable plot with the house appearing to be crying out for doubling in size, subject to Planning Permission. Either way, requires modernising and improving.

The current family owners moved to the property just before the World Cup in 1966 and bought a television especially to watch the match in what was then the 'front room'. With an opportunity to purchase the house from the Local Authority in the 1980's the house has remained a much loved home since but with the passing of time is now available for the first time to be sold. Clearly, the property requires modernisation and improvement albeit walls are now insulated with cavity insulation, an oil fired radiator heating system installed and replacement fuse board installed and circuits tested in August 2024. Windows were replaced with timber frames and sealed unit double glazing. With regard to the roof, we would draw your attention to the Agents Note towards the end of these particulars. The property is offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN and a Grant of Probate has been issued.

Location

6 Southlands sits midway between the main village centre of Yaxley and the next village Mellis. Open fields lay to the rear and the house is nicely back from the road in a slightly elevated position. Much of the plot, which extends to approximately 0.12 Acre is to the side of the house suggesting good potential for extending the house quite possibly to double its current size retaining space for a garage and driveway. Yaxley and Mellis are good rural settlements, within easy reach of Eye and with an excellent Primary School just along the road at Mellis.

Direction

6 Southlands is easily reached from either the A140 or A143. The house sits back from the road behind a well maintained conifer hedge just opposite the entrance to Burns Close.
