Description

A three-bedroom timber-framed house dating back more than 150 years, formerly known as the Old Wheel Wrights house, is offered for sale with a substantial modernisation project in prospect. The first floor has two double bedrooms and one single bedroom. On the ground floor are three reception rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, with an open fireplace in the living room. The property includes a large workshop with three-phase power, as well as further workshop space to the rear and side. Additional land is available separately for £15,000. Described as approximately 130 feet by 35 feet, it has pedestrian access from the house and could provide storage or additional garden space, subject to any necessary checks. The house is on the Great North Road, close to the A1, and the listing notes that Sandy railway station is within easy reach, with a stated journey time of around 40 minutes to London. The property is being sold by informal tender, with written bids requested by the stated closing date. Mains water and electricity are reported, while foul drainage is stated to lead to a septic tank.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Pastel Cottage has character and a distinctive practical edge: this 150-year-old timber-framed house comes with a large workshop with three-phase power, further outbuildings and a spacious rear area with a greenhouse. The interiors are dated across several rooms, making this a medium-scale modernisation project with scope to update the finishes and make the most of the three reception rooms and open fireplace.

At £375,000, the value comparison is incomplete because the floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The overall WHOTS score is 53/100, grade D: the house has useful fundamentals and unusual workshop space, but the available information does not establish its price or residual-value position.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated interiors, including the kitchen, bathroom, decoration and flooring, to create a more cohesive finish.
  • The large workshop with three-phase power and further outbuildings offer distinctive space for hobbies or a home-based business.
  • The spacious rear area, greenhouse and open fireplace add character and provide scope to improve the outdoor setting and living spaces.

Key risks

  • Marking and discolouration are visible on a sloping ceiling and wall in an upper room; the cause is unknown and should be investigated.
  • As a timber-framed house more than 150 years old, its structure and concealed fabric merit appropriate checks; the photographs do not establish their condition.
