Description

Nestled within its own private plot in the historical village of Terregles, Drumhor presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a spacious family home. This bespoke-built detached house has served as a cherished residence for many years and is approached via a private gated driveway. The property is surrounded by an extensive traditional stone wall, reflecting the area's rich 18th- and 19th-century heritage. The mature garden grounds encompass a variety of trees, including apple and pear trees, along with rhubarb plants. A glass house adds to the charm, housing a grapevine and peach tree. Inside, the bungalow offers versatile four-bedroom accommodation, featuring a sitting room, lounge, kitchen, and bathroom. Built in 1960 by a family member, the property is ready for new owners to modernise and maintain it to their liking. Complemented by approximately 7 acres of grazing land that borders the garden grounds, there is potential for future development, although currently, no gated access exists. The property holds an agricultural holding number but remains open to various uses. Given its non-standard construction, Drumhor requires some degree of refurbishment, making it an appealing project for those looking to invest in a unique property.

Confidence: LOW

Drumhor presents a unique opportunity for a buyer looking to invest in a spacious four-bedroom property in the historical village of Terregles. While the asking price of £295,000 may seem appealing compared to local averages, the absence of usable floor area makes a direct £/sqf comparison difficult. The property is characterized by its dated interiors, with general wear and signs of age evident throughout, particularly in the living areas and kitchen. However, its bespoke construction and extensive grounds, set within a private plot, offer significant potential for modernisation and improvement.

The property's spacious layout and mature garden grounds are notable highlights, providing a canvas for someone with vision. With renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, there is a moderate project scale here, allowing for customisation that enhances the property's unique character. While the non-standard construction may complicate financing, the overall fundamentals and location score well, indicating this could be a worthwhile venture for the right buyer.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious four-bedroom layout with potential for reconfiguration
  • Mature garden grounds with existing fruit trees and room for enhancement
  • Unique historical property that can be modernised to reflect contemporary tastes

Key risks

  • General wear and signs of age throughout the property may require extensive refurbishing
  • Dated kitchen and bathroom fixtures needing complete updates
  • Non-standard construction could complicate financing options
