Description

This substantial three-bedroom semi-detached family home from the 1930s is ideally situated on a desirable tree-lined residential street. Opposite King Edward VII Park and just a short walk from Roundwood Park, the property is surrounded by green spaces, enhancing its appeal. While brimming with original features and character, it offers an excellent opportunity for bespoke renovation and potential extension, subject to necessary consents. The ground floor comprises a bright front reception room with a large bay window, a second spacious reception room, and a separate dining room. The kitchen, located beyond the hallway, provides access to the garden. On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms along with a family bathroom. Additional benefits include a garage, a front driveway, and an expansive private south-facing rear garden. Located in the premier area of Doyle Gardens, residents have easy access to the vibrant hubs of Kensal Rise and Queen's Park, featuring a variety of restaurants, independent shops, cafés, and popular gastropubs along Chamberlayne Road and Salusbury Road. Excellent transport links are available via Kensal Green Station (Bakerloo Line and London Overground) and Kensal Rise Station (London Overground), ensuring swift access to Central London.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached home in a desirable area offers considerable potential for renovation, positioned in a tree-lined street opposite King Edward VII Park. While the property boasts a substantial size ideal for family living, it is currently dated, showing visible wear throughout, including worn carpets and peeling paint in the living areas, along with an overgrown garden that needs clearing. The kitchen and bathroom also require updating, making this a blank canvas for those looking to create a bespoke family home.

However, the asking price of £950,000 translates to £658/sqf, which is above the local average of £620/sqf. When considering the renovation budget of £100,000 to £200,000, the overall costs are stretched compared to local benchmarks for this floor area, resulting in a weak economic outlook. This property presents a project with significant scope for improvement, but potential buyers should be mindful of the financial implications before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial size provides excellent scope for bespoke renovation and extension.
  • Desirable location near parks and vibrant local amenities.
  • Potential to create a modern family home with original features.

Key risks

  • Overall costs may exceed local benchmarks, leading to weaker economic viability.
  • Total commitment could reach about £1,100,000 including the asking price and quoted works of about £150,000, about 19% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
