Description

Netherbrook House is a remarkable Grade II listed property with a rich history dating back to the early 18th century, presenting a unique opportunity for renovation and improvement. Originally constructed in 1703 and enhanced in the 19th and 20th centuries, this expansive home offers approximately 7,000 sq ft of versatile space. With a rare dual-use potential, it has previously functioned as both a private residence and a commercial antiques business. The property retains a wealth of original features, including a historically significant fireplace that adds to its charm. The ground floor features a grand flagstone entrance hall with oak-panelled walls, leading to two elegant reception rooms with bay windows and original fireplaces. In addition, there are four flexible reception or work rooms, a boiler room, and a substantial basement/cellar. The first floor accommodates the main living areas, which include two bath/shower rooms (suites removed), an empty kitchen space, and six additional rooms, offering significant scope for remodeling into a magnificent family home. Ascending to the second floor, formerly staff accommodation, you will find three more bedrooms and an additional shower room (suite removed), providing ample space for family or guests. Externally, the property is accessed through remote-operated gates leading to a spacious parking area and several useful outbuildings, including former coach houses/stables that offer considerable potential for various uses, subject to necessary consents. The gardens are partly walled, ensuring privacy and seclusion in this town centre location, making Netherbrook House an outstanding investment opportunity.

Confidence: LOW

Netherbrook House is a distinguished Grade II listed property with a rich history dating back to the early 18th century, offering around 7000 sq ft of space with immense potential for renovation. This home combines both residential and commercial uses, previously accommodating a private residence alongside a well-established antiques business. With its original features, including a historically significant fireplace and impressive reception rooms, this property is a canvas for someone looking to create a magnificent home while retaining its unique charm.

However, the listing's asking price of £1,250,000 appears dear compared to the local average, making it a weaker opportunity in terms of value. The project will require extensive refurbishment, with a renovation budget estimated between £150,000 and £300,000. The dated interiors and overall condition signal a significant undertaking, but this is an opportunity for a creative buyer to reimagine and enhance the space, including the potential to remodel the flexible reception areas and outbuildings into functional living or working spaces.

Key opportunities

  • Large space for renovation, allowing for creative redesign of the living areas and outbuildings.
  • Historical features such as a significant fireplace that adds charm and character to the property.
  • Potential to remodel the separate Coach House/outbuildings for various uses, including additional accommodation.

Key risks

  • Extensive refurbishment required throughout the property and a £150,000–£300,000 works budget indicates a full-gut programme, not a simple refresh.
