Description

This four-bedroom semi-detached house has accommodation arranged over four floors, with three reception rooms and a study that could also serve as a fifth bedroom. The main level includes a double-aspect lounge with wood flooring and a log burner, alongside the study. There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, with two further single bedrooms on the top floor; the listing notes that these could potentially be combined into a larger room. The house has a large bathroom described as needing updating, as well as a separate updated shower room. On the lower ground floor, a dining room connects to the fitted kitchen, which has modern white units. A further sitting room or conservatory opens to the rear garden through French doors. Outside, there is a covered car port, off-road parking and a small front garden, with gated side access to a rear garden laid mainly to lawn with established planting. The property is on a no-through road near Coulsdon Common, with local shops, services, schools and leisure facilities in the Caterham on the Hill area. Bus services are nearby, and the listing identifies rail connections from Caterham, Upper Warlingham and Coulsdon South, with the M25 around three miles away. The bathroom update and adaptable room arrangement are points for a buyer to assess further.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £470,000, this 1,824 sq ft home is priced at about £258 per sq ft, well below the local average of £446 — a strong opportunity to acquire a spacious four-floor property at a comparatively low entry price. The clean, usable living spaces, fitted kitchen, separate updated shower room, log burner and covered parking give it a solid base, while the dated main bathroom offers a clear, contained improvement project. The asking price plus the stated £5,500–£14,000 renovation range comes to £475,500–£484,000, before fees and other purchase costs; this is not a valuation of the renovated home.

Key opportunities

  • Update the dated main bathroom while retaining the more recently finished separate shower room.
  • Make use of the adaptable layout, including the study/office that could serve as a fifth bedroom and the potential to combine the two top-floor single rooms, subject to feasibility and compliance.
  • Improve garden presentation with routine lawn care and make the most of the established shrubs, trees and conservatory connection.
