Description
Nestled on a corner plot just half a mile from the vibrant amenities of Swanage and the stunning seafront, this semi-detached home offers significant renovation potential. Constructed approximately 55-60 years ago, it features traditional rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof, providing a solid foundation for modernization. The property boasts front, side, and rear gardens, along with the convenience of a nearby garage. With no forward chain, this residence is an excellent opportunity for investors or those looking to create their ideal living space. The interior requires refurbishment throughout, making it perfectly suited for custom designs tailored to modern tastes. Key spaces include a lounge/diner with access to a lean-to conservatory, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and essential facilities such as a utility room and shower room. This could be transformed into a charming coastal retreat or rental investment with the right vision.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
A medium-scale project on a corner plot, with front, side and rear gardens, a nearby garage and a lounge/diner opening to a conservatory. The interiors are dated but generally appear intact, leaving scope to refresh finishes and update the kitchen and shower room; clearing the overgrown rear garden could also help reveal its potential. At £350,000, the asking price is slightly below the local £/sqf average, which is a positive, though the overall score is weak because purchase and works costs look tight against local benchmarks.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interior finishes and flooring to give the living spaces and bedrooms a more cohesive feel.
- Update the older kitchen and shower room as part of a medium-scale improvement programme.
- Clear the heavily overgrown rear garden and assess the usable space across the corner plot.
