Description

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac that leads directly onto Laggan Field, this charming period-style detached house offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Just a short 10-minute stroll from Furze Platt train station, this property features four spacious double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom. The upstairs area is complemented by a generous landing space that can be utilized as an office, providing a pleasant view of the front drive. On the ground floor, the home boasts three large reception rooms adorned with working fireplaces and bay windows, enhancing its character with features such as picture rails and tall ceilings. The exterior includes a substantial driveway accommodating at least four vehicles, alongside a garage and front garden.

Confidence: LOW

This period style detached house presents a significant renovation opportunity in a desirable location, just a short walk from Furze Platt train station. While the asking price of £1,000,000 appears cheap compared to the local average, the lack of usable floor area makes it challenging to fully assess its value. The spacious layout, with four double bedrooms and multiple reception rooms featuring charming period details, offers a canvas for those looking to modernise and enhance character. The potential for a stunning family home is evident, but be prepared for extensive works, given the dated condition throughout, including the kitchen and bathroom.

With a project scale classified as heavy, you will need to consider a renovation budget of £100,000 to £250,000. The dated decor and visible wear across several rooms signal a need for a complete refresh, but the generous garden and the possibility of extending further (subject to planning) add to the appeal. This property is perfect for buyers who are willing to invest time and resources into transforming a classic home into a modern masterpiece.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout with multiple large reception rooms and generous bedrooms allows for creative redesign.
  • Dated but charming period features such as bay windows and fireplaces can be restored to enhance character.
  • Large garden space provides opportunities for outdoor entertaining and potential extensions (subject to planning).

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£250,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
