Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house, located just outside Wickham Square, presents a promising opportunity for renovation and expansion. With no forward chain, the property features a generous private rear garden and off-street driveway parking for multiple vehicles. There is also potential for extension, subject to planning permissions. Entering through a UPVC double glazed door, you are greeted by a porch that leads into the main hallway, which connects to the lounge at the front and a separate dining room at the rear. Adjacent to these is a fitted kitchen that opens to a utility area, along with a convenient downstairs shower room. The first floor comprises a landing with access to three well-sized bedrooms and a fitted family bathroom. While the property would benefit from some modernisation, it offers fantastic potential for development. The exterior is set back from the road, featuring a large gravel driveway and a front garden predominantly laid to lawn with mature hedgerow borders. Side access leads to the expansive rear garden, which is also mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by wooden fencing. This property is ideally situated within walking distance of Wickham Square, making it an attractive option for families or investors alike.

58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi near Wickham Square offers a usable starting point and a clear light-refresh project. The asking price is about 5% below the local average per square foot, which helps, though the overall score is still a weak 58/100: after the estimated £7,000–£18,000 of works, the purchase price plus the renovation midpoint sits close to the implied local average value, leaving limited headroom on that comparison. The dated kitchen and bathroom, marked walls and worn flooring give scope for a cosmetic update, while the large rear garden could be tidied and improved.

The multiple-vehicle driveway, private garden and no-forward-chain sale add practical appeal. The listing also mentions potential to extend subject to planning, but no feasibility is established.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, alongside marked walls and worn flooring.
  • Improve the large rear garden by tackling uneven lawn growth, weeds and weathered boundaries.
  • Make use of the gravel driveway with parking for multiple vehicles; the listing also notes possible extension potential subject to planning.
