Description
This semi-detached house, positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Exeter area of Corby, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation. Offered with no onward chain, the property is ideally situated within walking distance to local amenities, including Exeter Primary School, Corby town centre, and Corby railway station, making it suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors.
The accommodation features an entrance hall leading to a galley-style kitchen and a spacious lounge/dining room. The first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms and a three-piece family bathroom. Externally, there is a low-maintenance front garden and a good-sized enclosed rear garden that requires some clearing of overgrown brambles.
With its advantageous location and potential for refurbishment, this property is ripe for transformation into a comfortable family home or a lucrative investment.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This two-bedroom semi offers a clear renovation canvas: a separate lounge/dining room, two generous double bedrooms and an enclosed rear garden with patio and lawn give the project useful space to work with. The dated kitchen and shower room, worn finishes and overgrown front and rear gardens leave scope to rework the interiors and bring the outside areas back into use; the exterior and roof appear broadly intact in the available views.
At £160,000, the value comparison is incomplete because floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The 47/100 E grade reflects a limited overall opportunity, with the project’s appeal resting on its layout and potential rather than a confirmed price advantage.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated galley kitchen and shower room to give the house a more current finish.
- Refresh the living room and two double bedrooms, including the damaged wall finish, worn flooring and older fitted storage.
- Clear the overgrown front and rear gardens to make better use of the enclosed lawn and patio.
Key risks
- The dated finishes across several rooms and substantial garden clearance make this a whole-house improvement programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; the stated £30,000–£55,000 works range needs to be allowed for.
- Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
