Description

This charming detached house, built in the late 1800s, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Originally serving as the residence for the village school teacher, the property features a spacious layout with three bedrooms, including a large master bedroom with scenic views towards Dartmoor. The first floor also includes a fully tiled shower room and a bathroom equipped with a hydro bath and bidet. The ground floor consists of a kitchen with ample storage and space for modern appliances, leading to a dining room complete with a working fireplace. The generous lounge area opens onto the driveway and overlooks the tiered garden, which includes a designated BBQ area. Additionally, there is potential for further development with a two-bedroom mobile home on-site that may allow for retrospective planning as a bungalow, subject to council approval. Notably, the property has two attics that present an opportunity for conversion into additional bedrooms or en-suites, again subject to planning permission. The home is fully double glazed and gas centrally heated, ensuring comfort throughout the year. Located in a conservation area, any renovations have been carried out thoughtfully to maintain the property's character. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the size and potential this property holds.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached house, steeped in history, offers a good-sized garden and ample potential for extensions and conversions, making it an intriguing project for the right buyer. While the asking price of £440,000 is below the local average at £322/sqf compared to £335/sqf, the overall renovation costs, estimated between £100,000 and £200,000, lead to all-in expenditures that could stretch your budget relative to local benchmarks for this floor area. It's important to note that while the property exhibits signs of wear and is dated throughout, the functional layout provides a solid base for modernization.

With a tiered garden and opportunities for improvement outside, along with potential changes inside, this home presents a canvas for creativity. However, with the economics working against you, it’s crucial to carefully consider the total investment required versus the local market expectations. Overall, while there are challenges, the distinctive features and possible planning permissions could still offer value to those willing to undertake the necessary refurbishment.

Key opportunities

  • The potential for extensions and conversions, particularly with the two attics that could be transformed into additional bedrooms or en-suites.
  • A good-sized tiered garden that offers scope for landscaping and outdoor improvements.
  • Possibility of reinstating a previous business use with the right permissions, adding further value to the property.

Key risks

  • The combined purchase and renovation costs may exceed local benchmarks for this floor area, creating financial pressure for potential buyers.
  • Total commitment could reach about £590,000 including the asking price and quoted works of about £150,000, about 22% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
