Description

The ground floor has an entrance porch and hallway, a cloakroom, a separate dining room, a rear lounge with an open fireplace and patio doors, and a kitchen with access to the garden. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom opens onto a rear balcony, while a further staircase leads to two loft rooms currently used for storage. The property also has a front driveway with parking for three vehicles, a garage and a level rear garden described as uncultivated. The house is in Preston, with the listing noting a short walk to the beach and seafront, local shops, amenities and a bus route. It is freehold and falls within Council Tax Band E. The existing accommodation and loft storage provide scope to consider improvements, subject to inspection and any necessary consents.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £325,000, this detached four-bedroom home is priced at £192/sq ft against a local average of £277/sq ft—a substantial discount that gives the project a strong starting point. Its level Preston location close to the beach, seafront and local amenities adds to the appeal, while the driveway, garage, balcony and rear garden provide useful features to build on.

The interiors offer a medium-scale modernisation project, with dated finishes across the photographed rooms and a particularly old-fashioned kitchen and bathroom. There is scope to refresh the living spaces, improve the overgrown garden and make the most of the home’s existing layout; the loft rooms are currently described as storage, and their conversion suitability is not established. The aged exterior and some roof weathering merit a closer inspection, but no definite structural failure is visible in the photos.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom and refresh finishes across the photographed living spaces.
  • Clear and improve the level rear garden, which connects directly to the lounge and kitchen.
  • Make use of the four-bedroom layout, driveway, garage and rear balcony in a convenient location near the beach and local amenities.

Key risks

  • The roof shows weathering or moss in aerial views; arrange a closer inspection of its condition.
  • Peeling or flaking finish is visible on one bedroom ceiling; investigate the cause and extent before decorating.
