WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £260,000, this is priced well below the local £/sqf average, making it an appealing opportunity to acquire a characterful three-bedroom stone-fronted home with room to add value. The spacious reception room’s parquet flooring and bay window are standout features, while the kitchen and bathroom appear usable; older decorative finishes across several areas and the overgrown rear garden give a buyer clear, manageable scope to refresh and improve the property.

The garage and outbuilding offer an intriguing possible annexe project, subject to feasibility and the necessary consents. The overall numbers are strong, though the location score is more average than the price and property fundamentals.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated wallpaper and decorative finishes while retaining character features such as the parquet flooring, bay window and original doors.
  • Clear and maintain the tiered rear garden to make better use of its established planting and outdoor space.
  • Explore the garage and outbuilding’s potential for an annexe, subject to feasibility and the necessary consents.
