An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This three-bedroom cottage-style terrace has a useful lounge/diner, a usable fitted kitchen and an enclosed rear garden, with Babbacombe Downs and St Marychurch both within walking distance. The photographed interiors are dated, with areas of damaged or missing wall finish in several rooms, so this is a light modernisation project with scope to refresh the finishes and make the garden your own.
At 48/100 (grade E), it is a lower-scoring overall opportunity, though the location and property fundamentals offer some appeal. The guide price is £190,000–£200,000; floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated finishes and flooring, including the visible wall damage in several rooms.
- The lounge/diner offers a spacious shared living and dining area with built-in storage and older timber features.
- Improve the enclosed, hard-landscaped rear garden while retaining its low-maintenance character.
Key risks
None recorded.
