Description

This semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity for those looking to undertake a significant renovation project. Having been in the same family since its construction in 1959, this property is now ready for its next chapter. The home requires extensive modernisation, making it a blank canvas for buyers eager to create a space tailored to their preferences. Situated in a well-established residential area, the property offers ample living space with potential for reconfiguration to meet contemporary open-plan living demands. There may also be opportunities for extension, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and building regulations. For those with vision, this home offers the chance to transform it into a long-term family residence or a project that reflects personal style. The private garden space further enhances the potential for outdoor transformation, making it an appealing prospect for buyers willing to invest in thoughtful renovation. With over six decades of family history, this home is a rare find in the current market, providing a new owner with the chance to reimagine and reinvent it for future generations.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This semi-detached house at 7 Crosby Close presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to dive into a substantial renovation project. With an asking price of £180,000, this property is notably cheaper than the local average of £258/sqf, making it an attractive acquisition for those ready to reimagine the space. The home has been in the same family since its construction in 1959, offering a rare chance to create a bespoke living environment tailored to modern tastes.

The property is in poor condition overall, with extensive wear and damage evident throughout, including dated interiors in the living areas and bedrooms, as well as a lackluster garden and exterior. However, this also means there is a significant canvas for those willing to undertake a comprehensive renovation. The well-proportioned layout allows for the possibility of an open-plan living design, and there may be room to extend, subject to planning permissions. With a renovation budget estimated between £80,000 and £120,000, the potential for a well-executed transformation is considerable, making this a project worth considering for the right buyer.

Key opportunities

  • Extensive scope to redesign the layout and introduce open-plan living.
  • Possibility to extend or enhance the property with the right planning permissions.
  • A private garden space offers potential to create an inviting outdoor area.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £80,000–£120,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
