5 bed house for sale Kingswood Close, New Malden, KT3

This five-bedroom home in New Malden needs work throughout, and that's the opportunity, not the catch. At 1,493 sq ft (1,612 with the garage), you're buying real square footage in a fantastic location for well under what a finished house on this street would cost.

The bones are good. What's here is space, layout and position, the finishing is yours to do. On the ground floor, a spacious living room with a fireplace runs the width of the house, giving you a proper room to shape rather than a shell to guess at. The kitchen is dated but generously sized, with a large conservatory behind it looking over the garden, more living space most similar homes simply don't have. Imagine bi-fold doors opening the kitchen straight onto the garden, morning sun pouring into a bright, open-plan space where the wall to the conservatory once was. Subject to the usual structural checks, that's the kind of potential this layout already has.
