Description

Set on a substantial plot of around 1.5 acres at the top of Lansdown, this detached four-bedroom house offers scope for modernisation and adaptation. The accommodation includes an entrance porch and hall, a first-floor sitting room with fireplace, a kitchen and dining area with an Aga that is not currently in use, a separate dining room or office, utility room and glazed rear hallway. There are four double bedrooms, along with a studio and adjoining store rooms. The listing notes potential to create an annexe, subject to verification of feasibility and any necessary consents. Outside, a mature hedgerow screens the property from the road. A tarmac and block-paved drive provides off-street parking and includes an EV charger, with a gated side yard and sizeable shed. A separate side garden connects to the rear, where a large lawn leads towards a more natural garden area with boundary paths and a tree-lined tunnel. The property is described as being within walking distance of local amenities, schools and a pub, with a regular bus service from the nearby Park & Ride. Bath city centre, Bath Spa station and the M4 are also accessible. The house is freehold and falls within Council Tax Band E.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

68out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £400/sq ft, the £1,000,000 asking price is 16.9% below the local average, making this a strong opportunity to acquire a substantial house at a comparatively low entry price. The dated interiors offer scope for modernisation, with a £30,000–£55,000 renovation range; the photographed kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, provide clear routes to refresh the home.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen and photographed bathrooms, alongside redecoration to refresh the interior.
  • Make the most of the generous internal spaces, including the studio and adjacent store rooms.
  • Enjoy the extensive established grounds, tree-lined path, substantial parking and separate yard.

Key risks

  • Peeling paint and marked or stained surfaces appear in several photographed internal areas, so the refurbishment scope may extend beyond cosmetic updates.
