Description

Offered with no onward chain, this three-bedroom semi-detached house has a porch, entrance hall and a lounge-diner with a fireplace and access to the rear garden. The separate kitchen-breakfast room has fitted base and wall units, a gas cooker point, plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, and a wall-mounted boiler. The kitchen is described as functional and offers scope for modernisation. Upstairs are three bedrooms, an airing cupboard and a shower room with a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC. Outside, the rear garden has a lawn, mature borders and a paved patio, with views over Coombe Park. The listing notes that a former gate at the bottom of the garden could potentially be reinstated, subject to checking. A driveway provides off-road parking, and there is a detached garage which is believed to be asbestos construction and should be checked by a buyer. The property is described as being near local schools and transport links. Its existing layout and the stated scope to update the kitchen provide room to personalise the accommodation. Buyers should verify the property details and the condition of the garage and services during their investigations.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a light, manageable project with a spacious lounge-diner, usable bedrooms and an established rear garden overlooking the park. The dated kitchen and finishes offer room to personalise, while the driveway and family-friendly location add to the appeal.

The main drawback is the asking price: at £333/sqf, it is above the local average of £282/sqf. Adding the £5,000–£13,000 refurb range to the £290,000 asking price leaves the likely purchase-plus-refurb spend stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of renovated value.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and interior finishes to suit a buyer’s taste.
  • Make the most of the spacious lounge-diner and rear access to the established garden and park outlook.
  • Tidy the front planting and driveway edges while retaining the visible off-street parking.

Key risks

  • At the asking price, even the stated light refurb range leaves purchase-plus-works spending well above the local floor-area benchmark; this is not a post-renovation value estimate.
  • The detached garage is believed to be asbestos construction.
