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

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This substantial Victorian detached home has the space and character to make a rewarding, light-scale updating project. Generous reception and bedroom proportions, period details and a large established garden with a modern summer house give it a strong starting point; much of the opportunity is in refreshing decoration and flooring, with the older-style main bathroom offering scope to update to taste. The fitted kitchen already appears functional and relatively modern.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated decoration and flooring across the generous reception rooms and bedrooms while retaining period features such as fireplaces and coving.
  • The large, mature garden, modern timber summer house and range of outbuildings offer useful outdoor and ancillary space.
  • The functional fitted kitchen provides a good base, while the dated main bathroom can be updated to suit a buyer’s plans.
