Description

This four-bedroom semi-detached home from the 1930s is situated on a generously sized corner plot at Longmead Avenue and Highfield Grove, offered with no onward chain. The property benefits from an inviting open aspect, allowing morning sunlight to illuminate the rear and afternoon light to fill the front. The accommodation includes a loft conversion, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a garage, a shower room, and a convenient downstairs WC. The large, mature garden provides a tranquil retreat with direct access to Horfield Common. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway leading to the ground-floor rooms. The front sitting room features a square bay with UPVC double-glazed windows and a wall-mounted gas fire, while the second reception room at the rear overlooks the conservatory. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a range of wall and base units, and also has double-glazed windows that provide views of the garden. A door from the kitchen opens into the conservatory/garden room, which is bright and airy, with double doors leading out to the rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a multi-use garage with an up-and-over door, window, and side pedestrian door. On the first floor, you will find two spacious double bedrooms, a fourth bedroom that can also serve as a study, and a shower room featuring a wet room setup with an electric shower. The second floor houses another comfortable bedroom with eaves storage and double-glazed windows offering pleasant views. The expansive rear garden enjoys sunlight throughout the day and is approximately twice the width of neighboring properties. It features landscaped lawns, patio areas, and pathways bordered by mature plants and trees for added privacy. A paved driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles. This property presents significant potential for extension or development, subject to necessary checks and permissions. Its size and location may allow for further enhancements, similar to nearby properties. While there are currently no permissions in place, prospective buyers should conduct their own inquiries. Having been cherished as a family home for three generations, this residence is conveniently located near independent shops, bars, and cafes along Gloucester Road, as well as amenities at Horfield Common. It is also within walking distance of Redland Green Secondary School and Bishop Road Primary School.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This four-bedroom semi-detached house from the 1930s offers a spacious layout and a good amount of natural light, making it an attractive project for those looking to create their dream home. The property occupies a generous corner plot with a mature garden that provides a peaceful outdoor space, perfect for relaxation and potential landscaping improvements.

However, the asking price of £650,000 translates to £453/sqf, which is above the local average of £423/sqf. With an estimated renovation budget of £40,000 to £80,000, the all-in costs could stretch to £710,000, leaving the overall value less competitive against local benchmarks. This is a significant consideration for potential buyers, as it suggests that returns on investment might be limited compared to the local market. The dated interiors, including the kitchen and bathroom, present an opportunity for modernization, but the scope of work required should be weighed against the financial implications of this purchase.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout with good natural light throughout
  • Mature garden provides a tranquil outdoor space with potential landscaping
  • Extension potential due to the generous plot size

Key risks

  • Asking price plus renovation costs could stretch all-in expenses beyond local market value
