Description
This two-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a dual-aspect living room with sliding doors to the rear garden, and a kitchen/breakfast room with access to a side lean-to. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a separate bathroom and a separate WC. The principal bedroom extends across the full depth of the house and has windows to both front and rear.
The property is described as well cared for, with scope for cosmetic updating. A particularly large rear garden is noted, and the listing identifies possible extension potential subject to planning and other necessary approvals. The home is freehold and has an EPC rating of C. The agent states an expected rent of approximately £900 per calendar month; this is an estimate and should be independently checked.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a clean, usable two-bedroom semi with a spacious-feeling living room, two double bedrooms and a notably long rear garden. The dated but intact finishes offer scope for a light cosmetic update, while the garden gives the plot extra appeal and possible extension potential, subject to permissions and feasibility.
The price is the sticking point: at £246/sqf, the asking price is around 18.5% above the local average. With a mid-to-substantial works programme, the purchase price plus improvement spend would also look stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area; that comparison is with current local values, not a forecast of the finished home's value. The project has clear practical appeal, but the numbers make it a low-opportunity buy at this asking price.
Key opportunities
- A light cosmetic update could refresh the older-style kitchen, bathroom and flooring while keeping the existing usable layout.
- The long, enclosed rear garden is a strong feature and may offer extension potential, subject to permissions and feasibility.
- The spacious living room and two double bedrooms provide a clean, functional base for an owner-occupier or landlord.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding improvement spend would leave the overall outlay stretched against local value benchmarks for a home of this floor area.
- Headroom after works looks limited after allowing for the asking price and a non-cosmetic works programme — roughly 19% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
