Description

This spacious detached bungalow in the sought-after village of Braithwell presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to create a home tailored to their own taste. Offered with no onward chain and vacant possession, this two-bedroom property is nestled on a quiet residential street, overlooking open fields, providing a tranquil setting. The accommodation features a generous entrance leading into a particularly spacious lounge, a fitted kitchen, and two bedrooms, one of which has been extended to offer additional space. The family bathroom completes the internal layout. Outside, the bungalow is set on a good-sized plot with gardens to both the front and rear, the latter enjoying lovely views over the fields, enhancing the peaceful ambiance. A driveway and garage provide ample off-road parking and useful storage. Braithwell is known for its strong community feel, with local amenities nearby, while towns like Maltby, Wickersley, and Rotherham offer a wider range of shopping and leisure facilities.

Early viewing is highly recommended.

30out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious detached bungalow in Braithwell offers a unique opportunity for those looking to create a home tailored to their personal taste. While the overall condition is dated, with visible wear throughout, the generous living spaces, including a particularly spacious lounge, provide a solid foundation for modernisation. The property's detached position and lovely garden views over open fields enhance its appeal, making it a great canvas for improvement.

However, the asking price of £290,000 translates to £350/sqf, which is significantly above the local average of £232/sqf—making it a dear prospect in terms of value. Coupled with the estimated renovation costs ranging from £30,000 to £60,000, the all-in cost of approximately £335,000 stretches against local benchmarks for this floor area. This reality limits the potential for a strong return on investment in the current market environment, which can be volatile. While the property’s location and potential are noteworthy, prospective buyers should approach with caution regarding the financial aspects.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious living areas that can be modernised to enhance their appeal
  • Detached position with lovely views over open fields
  • Potential to create a unique home tailored to personal taste

Key risks
