Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This charming two-bedroom mid-terrace house presents a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers or investors looking to create value. With an asking price of £79,950, this property is priced significantly below the local average at just £105/sqf, making it an attractive acquisition in a well-connected area. The property features a solid stone façade, a spacious lounge with a fireplace, and a kitchen that, while functional, shows signs of wear and is ready for modernisation. There’s ample potential to enhance the living space and improve the overall condition, which is reflected in the estimated renovation range of £40,000 to £80,000.

The interior exhibits general wear and tear, with dated elements throughout, including worn flooring in the living room and bedrooms, and a bathroom that, while functional, could benefit from a fresh update. The garden is overgrown and requires landscaping, presenting another area where new owners can add value. Importantly, the property comes with no onward chain, facilitating a swift purchase process. Given its competitive pricing and good location, this listing is a promising project for those willing to invest in refurbishment and create a bespoke living space.

Key opportunities

  • Significantly below local average price per square foot allows for a strong acquisition.
  • Scope for modernisation in the kitchen and bathroom to enhance living space.
