Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This substantial cottage offers a light-refresh project with plenty to work with: spacious, versatile living areas, a mature garden backing onto open countryside and far-reaching rural views. The photographed interiors are generally usable but have dated finishes, so there is scope to update the décor, flooring and fittings to suit your taste; the yellow kitchen cabinetry and coloured bathroom suite are particularly distinctive starting points.
At £750,000, the asking price is around £441 per sq ft, below the local average of £519, making the price a clear opportunity to acquire. The combination of generous proportions, countryside outlook and no onward chain gives this C-grade potential opportunity a strong foundation for a considered refresh.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated decorative finishes and older flooring across the photographed living areas and bedrooms.
- Make the generous, versatile living space work for your needs, with the rear outlook adding appeal.
- Enjoy and build on the established rear garden, which backs directly onto open countryside.
