Description

This three-bedroom mid-terrace home presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to make their mark. Offered with no onward chain, this property is a blank canvas ready for transformation. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious and light-filled living room that flows seamlessly towards the rear of the house. The kitchen and dining area provide a generous footprint ideal for modern open-plan living, further enhanced by a practical lean-to and a convenient ground-floor wet room. Upstairs, three generously sized double bedrooms await, along with a family bathroom. The large, enclosed rear garden stands out as a fantastic feature, providing a private outdoor space perfect for families, pets, or gardening enthusiasts eager to create their dream retreat. This property requires full modernization throughout, making it an exciting prospect for investors, developers, or first-time buyers keen to add value. Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the potential this home offers.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom mid-terrace home presents an entry point for buyers looking to take on a substantial renovation project. With a guide price of £170,000, it's appealingly below the local average sale price of £316,638, suggesting potential for value creation once improvements are made. The property is a blank canvas, allowing for a complete transformation in layout and character to suit modern living preferences.

However, the extensive wear throughout the home, including the living room, bedrooms, and kitchen, highlights the need for a full modernization. The garden is overgrown and in need of landscaping, while the overall dated condition of the fixtures and decor suggests a significant renovation budget of £100,000 to £150,000. This is not a simple refresh; prospective buyers should be prepared for a full-gut renovation programme to unlock the home's true potential.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the spacious kitchen and dining area into a modern open-plan living space.
  • Revamp the large enclosed rear garden, creating an ideal outdoor retreat.
  • Redesign the interior layout to enhance functionality and appeal.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
