Description

The Elms is a Grade II listed eighteenth-century townhouse overlooking Stow-on-the-Wold’s Market Square. Arranged over three floors, the house has two reception rooms, five bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room. Its unusual layout reflects its position within the terrace, and the ground floor has historically included space used for retail purposes. The kitchen and dining area is currently on the first floor, while an adjoining workshop offers a possible opportunity to reconsider the arrangement, subject to the necessary consents.

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

83out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

A strong-value opportunity in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold: at £253/sq ft, the £1.25m asking price is 39% below the local average, giving buyers scope to acquire a substantial Grade II listed townhouse and make it their own. The five-bedroom house has generous reception rooms with exposed beams, stone floors and timber details, plus a maintained rear garden. The kitchen, bedroom carpets and several finishes are dated, making a moderate internal refresh a clear value-add; the existing renovation range is £45,000–£80,000.

The unusual first-floor kitchen arrangement could be reworked, subject to consents, and the separate stone coach house adds further potential. The coach house and parking are accessed separately, with no direct connection to the house, and any development would depend on planning consent. Overall, the combination of character, scale and a notably low price per square foot makes this a compelling project.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen, bedroom carpets and internal finishes across the house.
  • Explore integrating the adjoining workshop and relocating the first-floor kitchen, subject to consents.
  • The separate stone coach house offers potential for development, subject to planning consent.
