Description

Nestled in the sought-after coastal village of East Wittering, this three-bedroom semi-detached house presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to modernise and enhance a property. While the home requires refurbishment throughout, it boasts significant potential for improvement, including the possibility to extend (subject to planning permissions) and an expansive south-facing rear garden that is perfect for families or garden enthusiasts. The ground floor features a bright sitting room with dual-aspect windows, creating a welcoming living space. The kitchen is equipped with a range of wall and base units, complete with an inset sink and drainer, and leads to an adjoining utility room that offers additional practical space and direct access to the rear garden. The family bathroom on this level is fitted with a white suite comprising a panel-enclosed bath with shower over, wash hand basin, and WC. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom, along with two additional rooms that provide flexibility for family use, guests, or a home office. A standout feature of this property is the impressive south-facing rear garden, which is fully enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn, offering ample outdoor space for entertaining or relaxation. Its size also presents the exciting potential for further enhancement or extension, subject to necessary planning approvals. To the front, the property benefits from off-road parking for two to three vehicles, along with a garage accessed via an up-and-over door. East Wittering Village Centre is just a short stroll away, offering a range of amenities including a primary school, doctors, chemist, dentist, and various independent shops. The beautiful Blue Flag beach of West Wittering is only two miles to the west, providing stunning views and popular water sports activities year-round.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached home in East Wittering presents a project ripe for transformation. While the property is in need of significant refurbishment, it boasts a desirable location near the coast and offers exciting potential for improvement, including the possibility for extension, subject to planning permissions. The bright living space and impressive south-facing rear garden add to its appeal, providing ample outdoor space for families or entertaining.

However, the asking price of £375,000, translating to £505/sqf, is notably above the local average of £396/sqf, which could limit the overall investment potential. With an estimated renovation cost of £80,000 to £120,000, the financials suggest a challenging return on investment. Despite these hurdles, the property's fundamentals and location hold promise for those looking to create a superb family home or coastal retreat.

Key opportunities

  • Potential for extension subject to planning permissions.
  • Spacious south-facing rear garden ideal for family activities.
  • Bright living space with dual-aspect windows, ready for modernisation.

Key risks

  • Asking price significantly exceeds local £/sqf average, impacting value.
