Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial three-storey townhouse presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to undertake a significant renovation project. With an asking price of £220,000, which is a remarkable £197/sqf compared to the local average of £378/sqf, it offers a chance to acquire a property well below market value. The extensive modernization needed throughout is a canvas for buyers to reimagine the space, potentially transforming it into a contemporary family home or a lucrative investment property.

The property features flexible three to four-bedroom accommodation and includes a garage and off-street parking, adding to its appeal. However, significant refurbishment is required, as the interiors show general wear and dated fixtures, particularly in the living areas and kitchen. This extensive work means that buyers should be prepared for a full-gut programme, with renovation costs estimated between £100,000 and £150,000. Despite the challenges, the potential for value increase in this established residential location makes this listing a compelling opportunity for builders and developers.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the flexible three to four-bedroom layout into a modern family home or investment property.
  • Leverage the spacious interiors and garage for a full renovation, enhancing the property's appeal and market value.
  • Create an inviting outdoor space with off-street parking, adding further value in a desirable residential area.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
