Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom semi-detached property on Knowl Road represents a solid opportunity for those looking to acquire a home with potential for refurbishment. Offered at a guide price of £175,000, it comes in at £206/sqf, which is notably below the local average of £229/sqf. This presents a chance to secure a property that allows for personal touches and improvements, particularly in its dated living spaces, kitchen, and bathroom.

The generous plot includes large front and rear gardens along with a detached garage, providing ample outdoor space. Inside, the property features a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious living room, and an extended reception area that can serve various purposes. With the potential for further extension (subject to necessary consents), this home has the canvas for significant enhancement. While the renovation economics are limited, the price point remains a compelling factor, making it an attractive option for buyers ready to invest in home improvements.
