Outside, there is driveway parking for two cars, with unrestricted on-road parking also available. The private rear garden includes a patio, lawn, pond and two sheds.

WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
78out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £450,000, this four-bedroom semi is priced at around £350 per sq ft, well below the local average of £590. That makes the asking price a clear opportunity to acquire a sizeable home at a substantial discount on local £/sq ft, with multiple reception spaces, a ground-floor bedroom, driveway parking and a private garden adding to its appeal.
The project is a medium modernisation: dated finishes and flooring run across several rooms, while the kitchen and bathroom and separate shower room offer scope for a more considered update. The flexible extended layout, upgraded boiler and generally intact exterior provide a useful starting point; there is also room to improve the garden and make the house your own.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated finishes and flooring across several rooms, and update the kitchen and wet rooms to create a more cohesive interior.
- Make the most of the extended, flexible layout, including multiple reception spaces and a ground-floor bedroom; explore any reconfiguration only after checking feasibility and approvals.
- Improve the dry-looking lawn and planting while retaining the established shrubs, patio and pond.
