78out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £182,950, this detached three-bedroom house is priced at about £143/sq ft, around 40% below the local average—a compelling entry point for a project. The dated finishes across several rooms, worn flooring and tired pine kitchen give scope to refresh the interiors, while the wet room appears more serviceable and there is no obvious major roof failure in the available exterior views.
The multiple living spaces and side garage/workshop with power and lighting add useful flexibility. The enclosed paved courtyard could also be improved. The renovation range is £32,000–£58,000, so it is worth planning the work and budget carefully; the calculated £227,950 midpoint purchase-plus-renovation figure is below the implied local average, but is not a GDV or a complete cost-to-buy figure.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at about £143/sq ft, roughly 40% below the local average.
- Refresh the dated kitchen, decorative finishes and worn flooring across several rooms.
- Improve the paved rear courtyard and make use of the powered side garage/workshop.
Key risks
- The visible damaged or unfinished surfaces, including the fireplace opening and area beside the kitchen's external door, need inspection and may add to the work.
- Allow for a medium-scale renovation budget of £32,000–£58,000 and plan the programme around updating multiple rooms and improving the courtyard.
