Description
This two-bedroom period terraced house offers approximately 682 sq. ft. of accommodation, with a reception room, a separate kitchen and dining area, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

At the rear, a garden measuring approximately 34'3" x 15'7" provides private outdoor space, and there is also a front garden. The property is in reach of Tooting's shops, cafés and restaurants, as well as transport connections and green spaces. The accommodation and garden offer scope for a buyer to plan improvements, subject to their requirements.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This two-bedroom period home has a usable layout and a notably generous enclosed rear garden, giving a buyer scope to reshape the dated interiors and outdoor space to their taste. The kitchen and bathroom finishes, carpets and decoration all offer clear modernisation opportunities, while the rooms appear usable and the visible exterior shows no obvious major defect.
The price is the harder part of the project: at £550,000, the asking figure is about 11.5% above the local average per square foot. Combined with a mid-to-substantial programme of works, that leaves the purchase and improvement costs stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area; that is a comparison with current local values, not a forecast of the home's value after renovation.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a coordinated interior update.
- Refresh the carpets, decoration and older detailing to give the reception and bedrooms a more cohesive feel.
- Make the most of the enclosed rear garden with improved lawn care, planting and entertaining space.
Key risks
- At this asking level, the purchase price combined with a mid-to-substantial works programme is stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area.
- The all-in picture is soft once the asking price and a mid-to-substantial refurb are combined, leaving a gap of around 17% versus area norms for this sqft; we have not assumed a post-renovation resale figure.
