Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Derwent Road presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to make their mark. With planning permission already granted for a single-storey wrap-around extension, the property offers a unique chance to expand and enhance the living space. The spacious accommodation includes an entrance hall leading to an open-plan lounge and dining area, complete with double doors that open onto the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with a range of wall and base units, providing a functional area for cooking and dining. Upstairs, the property features three bedrooms and a three-piece family bathroom, all of which offer significant potential for further improvement and modernisation. Renovation works have already begun on the first floor, giving a head start to those eager to complete the transformation. Externally, the property boasts gated off-road parking that leads to a detached garage, offering excellent additional storage or potential for various uses, subject to necessary permissions. This home is offered for sale with no onward chain, making it an appealing option for buyers seeking a straightforward purchase.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi offers a substantial project with a useful head start: the ground-floor reception rooms remain usable, while the first-floor stripping and unfinished surfaces give a buyer scope to complete the work and choose the finishes. The maintained garden, detached garage and gated off-road access add to the appeal, and the listing states that permission was granted for a wrap-around extension, though its details and status have not been verified.

At £295,000, the asking price is slightly above the local £/sqf benchmark, and purchase plus the estimated £18,000–£32,000 refurbishment looks tight against local value benchmarks. That makes the economics a weak point for this project, despite the scope to improve the house.

Key opportunities

  • Complete the stripped and unfinished first floor, choosing new wall finishes and flooring to create a coherent finish across the upstairs rooms.
  • Refresh the dated reception areas and fitted kitchen while retaining their existing usable layout.
  • Make use of the enclosed garden, detached garage and gated off-road access; the stated extension permission may offer further scope if verified.

Key risks

  • Stripped, patched upstairs walls and exposed floorboards across several rooms make this a substantial completion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for the £18,000–£32,000 works range and time to finish the surfaces and flooring.
  • Purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local value benchmarks, limiting the financial headroom for a project buyer.
