The ground floor includes a full-length lounge with a cast-iron fireplace and garden-facing French doors, alongside a dining room with bi-fold doors.

Outside, the plot includes a timber deck, lawn and mature planting, as well as a detached double garage and a gravel driveway with space for several vehicles.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
A well-kept detached family home with a particularly appealing plot: the large enclosed garden, deck, open outlook, deep driveway and double garage give it a strong setting and plenty of practical space. The lounge and dining room are usable as they stand, while older finishes in the kitchen and family bathroom offer a straightforward cosmetic refresh rather than a major overhaul; the separate shower room is already more updated. The listing also describes scope to extend, subject to planning permission, though the photos do not establish feasibility.
At £685,000, the asking price is about 7.9% below the local average on a £/sqf basis, making this a good-value opportunity to acquire a four-bedroom detached house with room to improve. The light renovation range is £5,000–£12,000, and the overall result is a C-grade potential opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the older kitchen and family bathroom finishes while keeping the home usable during a light project.
- Make the most of the large enclosed garden, substantial deck and open outlook with modest garden improvements.
- Explore the stated scope to extend, subject to planning permission and confirming feasibility.
