Description

This late Victorian townhouse presents a promising opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property that requires refurbishment. The entrance hallway leads into a spacious reception area comprising a sitting room with an open fireplace, seamlessly connecting to the dining room that features dual-aspect windows for natural light. The fitted kitchen, albeit in need of modern updates, offers ample space and functionality, and extends to a rear lobby which could effectively serve as a utility area. On the first floor, you will find two generous double bedrooms, alongside a family bathroom that needs modernisation. The second floor hosts two more double bedrooms, both of which hold great potential for conversion into guest accommodations or home offices once renovated. Externally, the property boasts a westerly-facing rear courtyard garden that is fully enclosed, providing safety for children and pets alike. Permit parking is readily available outside the house and in nearby roads. With its close proximity to Barnstaple town centre and easy access to local amenities and transport links, this characterful property stands ready for someone with vision to breathe new life into it. Offered at auction, it represents an excellent chance to create a substantial family home in this desirable location.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At a £200,000 guide, this four-bedroom Victorian townhouse is priced at about £160 per sq ft, well below the local average of £272. That makes the guide a clear acquisition opportunity, although auction bidding can take the hammer price above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

The appeal is the scale and character: connected sitting and dining rooms, four double bedrooms and an enclosed west-facing courtyard give a buyer plenty to work with. The interiors are dated and there is substantial localised wall-finish damage in an upstairs bedroom, so expect a medium refurbishment, with scope to refresh the finishes and consider modernising the kitchen and bathroom. No obvious structural failure is visible, though the roof cannot be judged reliably from the available views.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated reception-room finishes and address the damaged wall covering and exposed floorboards visible in an upstairs bedroom.
  • Consider updating the older-style kitchen and bathroom to suit a modernised interior.
  • Make the most of the connected sitting and dining rooms, four double bedrooms and enclosed west-facing courtyard.
