42out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This charming three-bedroom mid-terraced cottage from the early 1900s presents a unique opportunity for buyers eager to create a personalized family home. The property, while requiring full refurbishment, boasts original character features and a large rear garden that offers significant landscaping potential. The inclusion of a driveway for off-road parking adds practicality, making this an attractive option for those looking to invest in a period property with character.

However, the score of 42 indicates some serious considerations for potential buyers. The asking price of £250,000 seems disproportionate compared to the local average sale price of around £487,819, particularly since the usable floor area is unknown. This lack of information limits the ability to assess value accurately and suggests that the renovation costs, which are also unspecified, could lead to an overall stretched investment. While there are appealing aspects, such as the potential for modernizing the interior and the large garden, the absence of critical data on floor area and renovation economics raises concerns about whether this property can deliver the expected returns on investment.

Key opportunities

  • Large rear garden with significant landscaping potential
