56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-storey detached house presents a substantial renovation opportunity in a promising location. With a guide price of £70,000, it stands out as a cheap entry point compared to the local average sale price of £171,488, allowing for potential value creation through refurbishment.

However, the property is in poor condition, with visible wear throughout, including dated interiors and an exterior that shows signs of neglect. The project will require significant investment, estimated between £100,000 and £200,000, as it lacks modern updates and features extensive wear in the living areas, bedrooms, and garden. This makes it a heavy renovation job, but the layout and character offer a valuable canvas for someone with vision to transform it into a desirable home.

Key opportunities

  • The three-storey layout allows for creative reconfiguration of living spaces.
  • The garden presents an opportunity for landscaping and outdoor improvements.
  • The property's character can be enhanced with modern updates and finishes.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
