Description
Offered with no onward chain, this detached six-bedroom house in Whaddon combines a timber-framed period core, dating from around 1650, with later additions. The accommodation includes three reception rooms and two bathrooms, with a flexible layout and retained historic features. The property is described as requiring modernisation, providing scope for a purchaser to update the interiors while retaining its character.
The house stands within mature grounds and includes a double garage and several outbuildings, offering additional storage and potential workshop or hobby space. Whaddon is a village in South Cambridgeshire with access to Cambridge, Royston and wider road and rail connections. Local amenities, schools and countryside walks are also within reach.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
A distinctive 17th-century timber-framed house with six bedrooms, generous reception spaces, a large mature plot, double garage and multiple outbuildings offers plenty to work with. The visible project is medium in scale: dated finishes and carpets, an overgrown garden, and scope to update the pictured kitchen and bathrooms while making the most of the period character. The exterior appears intact in the available views, but the roof and historic fabric need closer inspection.
At £875,000, value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The 51/100 D grade reflects that uncertainty and the overall opportunity is therefore weak on the available numbers, despite the property’s character and scope to improve.
Key opportunities
- Retain and bring out the historic timber framing, exposed beams and substantial brick fireplace across the generous reception spaces.
- Update the dated finishes, including the pictured kitchen and bathrooms, and refresh older flooring and decoration.
- Reclaim the mature plot and make better use of the double garage and multiple outbuildings.
Key risks
- Roof coverings and the condition of the historic timber fabric are not established by the photographs and warrant closer inspection.
- The garden is substantially overgrown, with neglected paved and raised-bed areas that will need attention.
