48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial improvement project with a useful two-reception, two-bedroom layout and a good-sized enclosed garden. The photographed rooms show worn floors, dated finishes and localized staining, while the kitchen and bathroom are present but tired; the £18,000–£34,000 works range gives a sense of the scope. The small brick structure at the rear also appears deteriorated and merits inspection. The 48/100 E reflects limited overall opportunity, although the location scores well and the house offers clear scope to refresh its interiors and make the most of its layout and garden.

The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. As this is an auction, the £80,000 figure is a guide price, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Rework and refresh the two-reception layout to suit a buyer’s needs while retaining the house’s existing room arrangement.
  • Use the enclosed rear garden as a valuable outdoor-space improvement, clearing the overgrowth and making better use of the paved area.
  • Update the worn interior finishes and make the existing kitchen and bathroom feel more cohesive as part of a whole-house scheme.

Key risks

  • Worn or damaged floors, wall finishes and localized staining across several photographed rooms, plus deterioration around the bath, need inspection and allowance in the works plan.
  • The small brick structure at the rear appears deteriorated, with loose materials nearby; its condition should be checked.
  • The £18,000–£34,000 works range makes this a meaningful whole-house programme rather than a quick cosmetic refresh, so budget and timescale need to allow for the multiple rooms and the rear structure.
