Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house is situated on a generous corner plot in the desirable area of Brooklands, and is being sold with no onward chain. Ideal for those looking to undertake a renovation project, this property offers significant potential to create a personalized home. The house requires refurbishment throughout, providing ample opportunity to extend both to the rear and side, subject to the usual planning permissions. The location is particularly appealing for families, with Brooklands Primary School nearby and easy access to Ashton-on-Mersey School and Sale Grammar School. The Brooklands Metrolink station is also within close proximity, ensuring straightforward travel to Sale, Altrincham, and Manchester city centre. Internally, the ground floor features two separate reception rooms, allowing for flexible use of space, along with a kitchen and a convenient downstairs WC. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The exterior of the property showcases the true potential available. The corner plot grants a wider footprint than typically found in similar homes, providing opportunities to rethink the layout and extend as desired. The west-facing garden is spacious and enjoys afternoon and evening sunlight. Additionally, there is off-road parking and a garage at the rear, which could be removed to enhance garden space or create additional parking. This property is perfect for someone who envisions the possibilities that come with renovation and wants to craft their ideal home in one of Brooklands' most sought-after family-friendly locations.

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Brooklands presents a significant renovation opportunity, set on a generous corner plot that allows for potential extensions (subject to planning). The property is in need of extensive updating throughout, with visible wear noted in the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen. This is a canvas for someone looking to create a customized home, taking advantage of the spacious layout and the considerable garden area.

However, the asking price of £500,000 appears dear compared to the local average sale price of £431,409, which may limit immediate appeal. The lack of usable floor area data further complicates the valuation, making it essential for buyers to assess the renovation potential and costs carefully, estimated between £100,000 and £200,000. With strong local schools and transport links nearby, this location offers family-friendly amenities that could enhance future value, but prospective buyers should be prepared for a heavy project scale, given the extensive work required.

Key opportunities

  • Generous corner plot allows for potential extensions and reconfiguration of the layout.
  • Spacious garden offers possibilities for outdoor improvements or additional parking.
  • Flexible ground floor layout with two reception rooms provides options for personalizing living space.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
