Description

This three-bedroom detached house in the sought-after Hampton area of Malpas presents a unique opportunity for those looking to undertake a renovation project. Nestled within a quiet cul-de-sac, the property is ripe for modernisation, allowing buyers to tailor it to their personal taste and specifications. The layout includes an entrance hallway, a guest W.C., a kitchen, and a spacious lounge/diner that opens onto a private rear garden. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, with the main bedroom featuring an en-suite shower room, alongside a family bathroom. The exterior benefits from a driveway leading to an attached garage, providing ample parking and storage options. The rear garden, primarily laid to lawn with a paved area, offers a blank canvas for outdoor enhancements. While the property requires complete modernisation throughout, this presents an exciting opportunity for investors or first-time buyers eager to create their dream home. With no upward chain, this property is ready for someone to breathe new life into it and transform it into a valuable asset in a desirable location.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom detached house in Malpas presents an intriguing opportunity for those looking to invest in a substantial renovation project. With an asking price of £260,000, which is notably below the local average at £257/sqf compared to £303/sqf, this property allows buyers to acquire a detached home in a desirable location while having the freedom to modernise it to their tastes.

However, the overall condition is poor, with significant refurbishment required throughout. The living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom all show signs of age and neglect, and the garden is overgrown, necessitating landscaping. While the potential for value addition is present, the all-in renovation costs could stretch the budget against local benchmarks. Prospective buyers should be prepared for a full-gut programme and consider the financial implications of the refurbishment alongside the asking price.

Key opportunities

  • The detached nature of the property allows for a reconfiguration of the layout to better suit modern living standards.
  • The garden provides a blank canvas for landscaping, which can enhance outdoor appeal and usability.
  • With no upward chain, buyers can move quickly to secure this project and start renovations.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • All-in spend is likely to land near £385,000 once the asking price and an estimated £125,000 of refurbishment are combined — roughly 20% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
