The guide price on 2 Charleston Avenue, a terraced redbrick house in a cul-de-sac off Charleston Road in Ranelagh is £250,000-plus. It goes to auction on April 14th. The four-bedroom 1,500-sq ft house has undergone some refurbishment in recent years including rewiring, roof insulation and the installation of double-glazed windows front and back.

New owners may extend or redecorate to suit their own taste. The ground floor accommodation includes two reception rooms and a galley style kitchen with a small study leading off it. There is also a utility room and bathroom. Of the four bedrooms two are comfortable doubles and the other two are long rather narrow rooms that could also accommodate double beds. There is a small walled garden to the rear.
