Description

A chain-free freehold property on a large plot beside East Reservoir, with views across the water and the West Reservoir opposite. The existing accommodation is described as a detached five-bedroom house with a two-bedroom side annex, making seven bedrooms in total. The grounds and current buildings offer scope for further consideration, but the property is being sold without planning permission and any development would depend on the relevant applications and approvals.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The standout is the waterside setting between East and West Reservoirs, with a large garden, established trees and a substantial existing house with a two-bedroom annex. The interiors are usable but dated, and the overgrown garden offers clear scope for a light cosmetic refresh; the indicated works are £8,000–£20,000. The listing also mentions development potential, but there is no planning permission, so any future scheme would need feasibility checks and approval.

At £3.5m, value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The overall opportunity is therefore weak on the available numbers, despite strong fundamentals and a distinctive location.

Key opportunities

  • Improve the substantial, established garden by clearing overgrowth and restoring the existing paved areas.
  • Refresh dated finishes and flooring across the usable living spaces and bedrooms, with cosmetic work to the visible kitchens where appropriate.
  • Explore the stated development potential, subject to feasibility and obtaining the necessary planning permission.
