Description
A detached home in Holbury, offered for the first time since it was built in 1961 and available with no onward chain. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a lounge, kitchen, utility area, bathroom and two bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which could also serve as a reception room. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, a shower room and a laundry or storage room. The layout offers scope to consider how the rooms are used, subject to inspection and any necessary checks.
Front and rear gardens have a southerly aspect. The front provides off-road parking for several vehicles, with access to a long lean-to or carport area and a large shed. The property is described as needing modernisation, making it an opportunity to update an established home to suit a purchaser's requirements.

Grade AStrong opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £399,950, this detached home is offered at £246 per sq ft against a local average of £360—a notably cheaper entry point for a four-bedroom property with flexible accommodation and parking for numerous vehicles. The asking price is a clear strength, and the house appears usable while offering scope to refresh its dated finishes rather than requiring a wholesale rebuild.
The project is about updating: the older kitchen and bathroom, carpets and décor provide a straightforward canvas, while the southerly rear garden could benefit from attention to its worn paving and features. The ground-floor bedroom/reception arrangement adds flexibility, and the utility area, lean-to and large shed are useful extras. The £9,000–£18,000 renovation range gives an indication of the scale of work; the strong score reflects the combination of below-average asking price, fundamentals and economics.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen, bathroom, carpets and décor to create a more contemporary feel.
- Improve the worn paving and untidy features in the southerly rear garden.
- Make the most of the flexible ground-floor bedroom/reception arrangement, subject to feasibility.
