Description

Westbrook is a detached four-bedroom chalet-style house in Upper Oddington, set on a generous plot backing onto fields. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, conservatory, four bedrooms, a study or hobbies room, an ensuite shower room, a bathroom and a further shower room. Two bedrooms and the bathroom are on the ground floor, with the remaining bedrooms, study and shower room upstairs. The detached double garage has power and lighting, and an external staircase leads to a large workshop or home office above. The house has been in the same ownership for many years and is described as needing modernisation and improvement. Its layout offers scope to update the existing accommodation, while demolition and rebuilding could be explored subject to the necessary planning consents. The gardens include established planting, streams and a terrace, with open-field views beyond. Gravel parking is provided at the front. Upper and Lower Oddington have village pubs, a village hall and two churches. Stow-on-the-Wold is around two miles away, with further facilities in Bourton-on-the-Water. Kingham and Moreton-in-Marsh railway stations are also within reach, with services to London Paddington via Oxford and Reading.

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Westbrook offers a substantial canvas: a four-bedroom detached home on a generous plot of around two thirds of an acre, with open-field views, a detached double garage and workshop/home office, and established gardens with streams. The photographed sitting room and kitchen are usable but dated, giving a buyer scope for cosmetic modernisation; the wider accommodation also offers flexibility for a considered improvement project. The exterior and gardens appear maintained in the available images.

At £999,500, the asking price is around 7.8% above the local average on a £/sqf basis, so value is a constraint rather than a clear advantage. The purchase price plus the £7,000–£18,000 renovation range also looks tight against local benchmarks, though that comparison is not a renovated-value estimate. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation estimate further provisional.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated but usable sitting room and kitchen to refresh the home's presentation.
  • Make use of the adaptable accommodation and detached garage with workshop/home office as part of a tailored improvement plan.
  • Enjoy the generous established garden, mature planting, streams and open-field outlook as distinctive features of the property.
