Description

This two-bedroom 1930s-style semi-detached house is set just beyond a short bridge on the private entrance road to Summerfield Park, within convenient reach of Llanidloes shops, cafés and riverside walks. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, sitting room with a feature arched leaded window, and a kitchen with fitted units, cooker and side door. An understairs utility area has plumbing for a washing machine and a Belfast sink. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. Gas central heating is installed, and electricity, water and drainage are connected. Outside, a tarmac side parking area leads to a substantial gravelled area at the rear. The rear ground has been dug out and terraced, leaving scope for a purchaser to establish a finished garden. The listing also notes potential to extend, subject to the necessary approvals and consents. The adjoining property is also for sale. The property is freehold, with the title to be split, and access is over a private road.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a clean, usable 1930s-style semi with a distinctive arched leaded-style sitting-room window and a bay-windowed bedroom with views towards the River Severn. The main project opportunity is outside: the rear has already been excavated and terraced, leaving scope to create a more finished, usable garden. Inside, the finishes are functional but dated, so there is room to put a personal stamp on the house without the photos suggesting a major internal overhaul.

Purchase cost alone tells only part of the story — the asking price is reasonable enough, yet £5,500 of quoted works still lifts all-in spend towards £205,450, leaving a gap of around 10% versus area norms for this sqft. The project can still appeal to the right buyer, yet the numbers are not exceptional.

Key opportunities

  • Shape the extensively terraced, mostly bare rear plot into established planting and usable garden areas.
  • Refresh dated but usable interior finishes to suit a buyer’s taste.
  • Make the most of the arched leaded-style sitting-room window and bay window with River Severn views.

Key risks

  • Purchase plus the estimated refurb midpoint looks tight against local benchmarks, leaving limited headroom at the current asking price.
