Description

This charming three-bedroom detached house offers a unique opportunity for renovation and personalization. Originally two separate homes, the property boasts an abundance of space and character, making it a perfect canvas for a family looking to create their ideal living environment. The welcoming entrance vestibule leads into a spacious living room featuring a multi-fuel stove and sliding doors that open to the garden, providing a bright and airy atmosphere. The adjacent dining room, with its exposed beams and decorative tile fireplace, is ideal for entertaining. The kitchen, equipped with timber units and integrated appliances, connects to an impressive barn that holds great potential for conversion into additional living space, subject to necessary consents. Upstairs, the property features three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own character and garden views. The bathroom and separate W.C add practicality to the layout. Outside, the generous gardens are complemented by a double garage and two driveways, offering ample parking. Located in a peaceful setting yet close to local amenities and good transport links, this property is offered with no chain and presents an exciting chance for buyers to modernize and enhance its features.

39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a characterful, spacious three-bedroom detached house with exposed beams, fireplaces, generous reception rooms and a large mature garden. The dated finishes across several rooms give a buyer scope to modernise the interiors, while the attached barn offers a further possibility to explore as storage or utility space, subject to any necessary consents. A double garage and two driveways add useful practicality.

The asking price is the main drawback: at £260 per sq ft, it is above the local average of £218. The £30,000–£65,000 refurbishment range also puts the purchase price plus works at roughly £355,000–£390,000, stretched against the local floor-area benchmark of about £272,594. That benchmark is not a forecast of the value after renovation, but the numbers make this a challenging buy at the current asking price. The rear exterior discolouration and weathered areas are worth inspecting as part of the project.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated décor and flooring across the spacious reception rooms and bedrooms while retaining the exposed beams and fireplaces as character features.
  • Modernise the timber-cabinet kitchen and older bathroom finishes to suit a new owner's style.
  • Make the most of the large garden, double garage and attached barn, with any change to the barn's use subject to necessary consents.

Key risks

  • At the current asking price, adding the estimated £30,000–£65,000 of works leaves the purchase-and-refurbishment budget well above the local floor-area benchmark; the renovation budget and buying price need careful scrutiny.
  • Inspect the discoloured patch on the rear elevation and weathered exterior, as well as the worn driveway areas.
