Description
This detached property presents an exciting opportunity to create a superb family home, situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within a highly sought-after area. The property boasts far-reaching views and is conveniently located for easy access to local amenities and Junction 27 of the M62 motorway, making it ideal for commuters. The accommodation includes an entrance porch, cloakroom/WC, kitchen, an impressive 20ft lounge, conservatory, three double bedrooms, a bathroom, shower room, and a generous 17ft utility room.

WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
67out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £325,000, this detached home is priced below the local average per square foot (£192 versus £213), making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The 20ft lounge/diner, large main bedroom, two washrooms and established garden provide a strong base for a light, cosmetic refresh; the photographed rooms look maintained, though finishes and flooring are consistently dated. The indicative renovation range is £5,000–£14,000, and the asking price plus the renovation midpoint sits below the implied current local average value, before fees and other purchase costs.
There is room to explore the listing’s suggested bedroom reconfiguration or utility-room conversion, subject to permissions and feasibility. The outlook and generous garden add appeal, with some pruning and tidying likely to make better use of the established planting. The sloping site and stepped access are worth inspecting, but no obvious major defect is visible in the photos.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated wall finishes, carpets and older-style kitchen and bathroom finishes to personalise the home.
- Make the most of the 20ft lounge/diner, large main bedroom and two washrooms as a spacious family-home layout.
- Prune and improve the established garden; investigate the suggested bedroom reconfiguration or utility-room conversion subject to permissions and feasibility.
