Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a significant opportunity for refurbishment and improvement, making it an ideal choice for buyers looking to invest or create a personalized home. The property, an ex-local authority dwelling, requires a comprehensive modernization program, appealing to those who wish to enhance its value or tailor it to their specifications. Spanning approximately 996 sq ft over two floors, the accommodation features a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious open-plan living and dining area, measuring around 25'8" x 11'. This generous space is perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. The separate kitchen, measuring approximately 12'1" x 6'4", offers practical functionality alongside a convenient downstairs WC. Upstairs, the property comprises three bedrooms, including two well-sized doubles and a smaller room measuring approximately 10'6" x 7'. A family bathroom completes the first floor, measuring about 6'8" x 6'1". Notably, this property is classified as 'non-standard construction', being part of the Airey housing scheme from the post-WW2 era, featuring a prefabricated concrete panel frame with concrete cladding. This home is offered at auction, providing an exciting chance for prospective buyers to secure a project that holds great potential for transformation.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This semi-detached three-bedroom home presents a remarkable opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a renovation project. With an asking price of just £120,000, it stands at an impressive £120/sqf, significantly below the local average of £299/sqf, making it an attractive acquisition for those ready to enhance its potential. The property features spacious living areas, including a generous open-plan living/dining room, and three well-sized bedrooms, all of which offer the chance to modernise and create a comfortable family home.

However, the property does require extensive refurbishment, as indicated by visible signs of wear and dated interiors throughout. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but in need of updating, and the overall condition suggests a full-gut programme is necessary to bring the home up to modern standards. The unique 'Airey housing' construction may be a draw for some, but could deter others. Overall, this property is a solid opportunity for those willing to put in the effort to transform it into a desirable home.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout allows for reconfiguration and modernisation to enhance living space.
  • Unique 'Airey housing' character could attract buyers seeking distinctive properties.
  • Opportunity to create a family home tailored to personal specifications.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
