Description

Ivy Cottage is a semi-detached family home nestled in the tranquil village of Soulby, just a short distance from Kirkby Stephen. This property has been cherished for years and now presents a significant opportunity for renovation. With its spacious layout, including four accommodating bedrooms and multiple living areas, there's ample scope to modernize and customize according to personal tastes. The first floor features a family shower room and an additional WC, ideal for family dynamics. On the ground floor, the living room boasts a feature fireplace, while the well-sized dining kitchen offers integration with the garage and utility space, providing a practical flow for everyday living. Externally, residents will appreciate the carport accommodating two vehicles, alongside stone-built outbuildings suitable for storage or workshop use. The rear garden is designed for low maintenance yet offers potential for enhancement with landscaping or garden design. Located near the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this home not only provides a serene environment but also convenient access to local amenities and outdoor activities. A refurbishment here would truly unlock Ivy Cottage's potential as both a comfortable residence and a promising investment.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Ivy Cottage has the space and outbuildings to make a rewarding family-home project: the generous living room and dining kitchen, four bedrooms, integral garage, covered parking and stone-built storage give you plenty to work with. The photographed interiors are distinctly dated, while the overgrown rear garden offers scope to restore the planting and make the outdoor space more inviting. The stone exterior and slate roof look broadly intact in the available views, though the roof cannot be confirmed from photographs.

The £275,000–£295,000 guide price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The WHOTS score is 52/100, grade D: the project has strong fundamentals, but overall value remains difficult to assess without that information.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the large fitted kitchen and dated shower room to give the home a more cohesive, contemporary feel.
  • Refresh the dated wallpaper and flooring across the photographed living and bedroom areas.
  • Tackle the overgrown rear garden while making use of the garage, covered parking and stone outbuildings.

Key risks

  • A visible mark or damaged patch on a bedroom ceiling needs checking to establish whether repair is required.
  • The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
