Description

Available chain free through Cantell & Co, this two-bedroom cottage in Richmond has a double reception room with wooden flooring, a feature fireplace and built-in storage. The reception space leads through to a contemporary kitchen and the rear garden, which has rear access. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, with one opening onto a west-facing roof terrace. The property also has a west-facing rear garden. The listing notes potential to extend to create a larger kitchen and living area, subject to planning permission; feasibility would need to be checked. The EPC is E, with a stated potential rating of C, and the council tax band is E. The Alberts sit on the lower slopes of Richmond Hill, with Richmond station described as a 10-minute walk away. Kew Gardens and Richmond Park are also within walking distance, alongside riverside venues, shops, restaurants and local amenities.

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

This is a light-touch project with a clean double reception, two usable bedrooms and appealing outdoor space, including a west-facing garden and roof terrace. The older kitchen finishes and worn stair carpet offer scope for a modest refresh, while the listing also mentions possible extension potential, subject to planning permission. The guide to improving it is clear, but the overall WHOTS score is 51/100 (D): floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged, and the available information does not establish residual value after renovation.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the older galley kitchen finishes and replace the visibly worn stair carpet.
  • Make the most of the west-facing rear garden and roof terrace with routine upkeep and attention to the weathered decking.
  • Explore the listing’s stated potential to extend into a larger kitchen and living space, subject to planning permission.
