78out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial three-storey townhouse presents an excellent opportunity for builders and investors looking to add value through extensive refurbishment. The asking price of £220,000 is significantly below the local average, making it an attractive entry point for buyers ready to undertake a heavy renovation project. With a generous floor area of 1,118 sq ft, the potential to create a contemporary family home or enhanced rental property is vast.

However, the property requires substantial work throughout, with observed signs of wear and dated interiors in the living spaces and bedrooms. The kitchen also shows its age with outdated fixtures. The exterior appears structurally sound, but the overall condition indicates that this will be a full-gut programme rather than a simple refresh. The combination of a low guide price and the extensive scope for improvement makes this a compelling project for those willing to invest the time and resources necessary to transform it.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial space available for renovation, allowing for flexible layouts and modernisation.
  • The chance to create a contemporary family home or improved investment property in a desirable area.

Key risks

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