Description

This chain-free detached house in Ibstone has five bedrooms and a range of reception spaces, with scope to update or reconfigure the accommodation. The ground floor includes an entrance porch and central hall, a dual-aspect main reception room with a wood-burning stove and sliding doors to the garden, plus two further reception rooms, one used as a study and another arranged as a snug. The kitchen has fitted units, granite worktops and space for appliances, and connects to the garden room, utility room and double garage. A downstairs cloakroom completes this floor. Upstairs are five double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a spa bath and separate shower, while the fifth bedroom is currently used as a dressing room. A family bathroom has a corner bath and separate shower. The listing also identifies potential, subject to the necessary permissions, to extend over the garage. The east-facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and backs onto open farmland. At the front, a private driveway provides parking for several vehicles, alongside a double garage with electric doors, power, lighting and internal storage. The property has oil-fired central heating, double glazing and private sewerage. Ibstone is in the Chiltern Hills, with countryside walks nearby. The listing notes access to the M40 at Stokenchurch and a train service to London Marylebone from High Wycombe. The house offers substantial existing accommodation, with further improvement or extension feasibility to be checked.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial five-bedroom detached home has a lot to work with: spacious reception rooms, a double garage and a broad garden with open farmland beyond. The interiors look clean and usable, but the older finishes leave room for a light modernisation, while the kitchen and bathrooms offer clear scope to refresh the presentation. The listing also highlights potential to extend over the garage, subject to permissions.

At £1,185,000, the asking price is around £474 per sq ft, very close to the local average of £472 per sq ft. That makes this a weaker value-led opportunity rather than an obvious bargain, although its village setting, generous accommodation and outlook give it distinctive appeal.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes to give the clean, usable interiors a more contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the generous reception spaces, including the stove-equipped main reception room and versatile garden room.
  • Explore the stated potential to extend over the double garage, subject to necessary permissions.
