Mallard Road, CR2

This detached family home is situated on a large corner plot and comes with significant potential for development, subject to planning permission. While the property requires a degree of modernisation, it presents an attractive opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property that can be transformed into their ideal home. The garden space is a notable feature, offering good outdoor areas with lovely panoramic views, which adds to the overall appeal.

However, the renovation economics appear tight, with all-in costs (purchase plus refurbishment) sitting closely against local benchmarks. The current asking price of £535,000 is below the local average price per square foot, which is a positive consideration. Nonetheless, prospective buyers should be aware that the property is dated throughout, including the kitchen and bathroom, and will require a thoughtful approach to modernisation to maximise its potential value.
