Description

This three-bedroom period home offers a notably spacious layout, with two reception rooms, a kitchen, cellar and accessible attic storage. The ground floor includes a vestibule and hallway leading to a lounge with a wood burner and doors through to the dining room. The dining room connects with the kitchen, which has a Belfast sink, fitted storage and a door to the rear courtyard. The cellar is described as tanked and plasterboarded, with plumbing for a utility area, and is currently used as a music room. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a main bedroom with an ensuite, as well as a family bathroom with a four-piece suite. The listing also notes Victorian staircase panelling, a landing storage cupboard and a fixed loft ladder to the attic space. The larger rear courtyard provides outdoor space, and reinstating off-road parking is mentioned as a possibility subject to permissions and alterations. The property has scope for personalisation and layout changes, with any further use of the cellar, attic or parking arrangement requiring appropriate checks and consents.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This scores 54/100, a weak overall opportunity, but there is plenty to work with: spacious reception rooms, period details, an end-of-row position and a larger-than-average courtyard give it character and room to make your own. The photographed interiors are generally orderly, with dated finishes rather than obvious major damage; the kitchen and bathrooms also appear usable, so the £4,250–£12,750 renovation range points to light personalisation rather than a full refurb.

The price/value picture cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The cellar is utilitarian, and its moisture performance is not established. The courtyard’s possible parking reinstatement is subject to permissions and alterations.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated colour schemes and finishes while retaining the exposed timber boards and period character.
  • Make use of the spacious lounge and dining room arrangement, with scope to personalise how the connected living areas work.
  • Build on the larger-than-average paved courtyard as an outdoor space; possible parking reinstatement is subject to permissions and alterations.

Key risks

  • The cellar is utilitarian, and its moisture performance is not established.
