Description

This ground floor apartment offers significant potential for renovation and investment. Located within walking distance of Tuckton high street and the scenic waterfront, this property is sold with the freehold of the building and includes ample parking at the front, along with direct access to a private rear garden. Upon entering, you are greeted by a central hallway that connects all rooms. The two bedrooms at the front feature charming bay windows, with one currently offering a built-in storage area. The main bedroom benefits from dual aspect views and period stained glass windows. The bathroom is spacious and presents an opportunity for reconfiguration to include both a shower and bath or a larger shower room. The kitchen, equipped with a combination boiler, overlooks the garden and could be transformed into an open-plan space with the living room, which boasts dual aspect windows and direct access to the garden via a patio door. The outdoor space is surprisingly generous, perfect for children to play, hosting barbecues, or gardening. The decking area is ideal for enjoying morning coffees or evening gatherings. While the property requires modernisation throughout, it retains many period features such as high ceilings, picture rails, and original stained windows, providing a solid foundation for a stylish refurbishment. This home is perfect for buyers seeking a project without extensive building works, ideally located in the popular Tuckton area close to amenities and the beach. With no chain and freehold ownership, this property presents an excellent opportunity to add value and create a personalized living space.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This ground floor apartment presents a solid renovation opportunity in a desirable location, with the added benefit of freehold ownership and a generous garden space. While the interior is in dated condition and requires extensive renovation, the layout offers potential for modernisation and reconfiguration, particularly in the spacious bathroom and kitchen areas.

At an asking price of £310,000, this property is slightly below the local average at £418/sqf compared to £431/sqf, which adds a level of attractiveness for a project buyer. However, the all-in costs, combining purchase and refurbishment, appear tight against local benchmarks, so careful budgeting will be essential. With a project scale deemed medium, the opportunity to enhance the living space and garden makes this listing a worthwhile consideration for those looking to create value through renovation.

Key opportunities

  • Potential to modernise and reconfigure the spacious bathroom.
  • Opportunity to create an open plan layout by linking the kitchen and living room.
  • Large garden space ideal for outdoor activities and entertaining.

Key risks

  • Potential damp issues may need to be monitored during renovation.
  • All-in costs (purchase plus refurb) look tight against local benchmarks.
