Encompassing approximately 1,165 square feet of internal space along with a roomy 182 square foot garage, this property boasts significant potential for investment.

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

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £375,000, this spacious three-double-bedroom home is asking £278 per sq ft, well below the local average of £366 per sq ft—an attractive entry point for a substantial family property. The light project is mainly about refreshing older bedroom décor and bathroom finishes; the kitchen is already clean and serviceable, so there is scope to make the home your own without taking on a major refurbishment.

The generous garden backs directly onto Magnolia Nature Reserve, while the conservatory, substantial garage and parking for three or more vehicles add useful flexibility. The substantial loft may offer further scope, subject to consents and professional advice.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a notably below-local-average asking price per square foot for the amount of accommodation on offer.
  • Refresh the dated bedroom décor and bathroom finishes to give the home a more contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the conservatory, large garage and generous garden; the substantial loft may offer further scope, subject to consents and professional advice.
