Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £750,000, Park View is priced at about £115 per sq ft, around 12.7% below the local average—a clear acquisition advantage for a substantial Grade II listed Victorian house. Its scale, period detailing and mature private grounds make it a distinctive canvas: the photographed interiors are usable but dated, so a light refresh can bring them forward while retaining the fireplaces, cornices, panelled doors and feature staircase. The large kitchen with its Aga-style range is a particular character feature.

The loft, cellars and stone outbuildings add further possibilities to explore, subject to listed-building constraints, feasibility and any required consents. The photographs show no obvious major structural failure, though the condition of the roof, services and outbuildings needs closer inspection. Overall, this is a strong-value, character-led project, with an excellent fundamentals score tempered by average location and a moderate condition assessment.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire a 6,548 sq ft Grade II listed residence at about 12.7% below the local average asking price per sq ft.
  • Refresh dated decoration and floor coverings while preserving the Victorian fireplaces, cornices, panelled doors and feature staircase.
