Description

The property is particularly appealing for developers and investors seeking a project with significant potential to add value. One of its standout features is the good-sized rear garden, which includes a garage and the possibility for a separate building plot, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This four-bedroom detached house offers a substantial project for those looking to invest in a full refurbishment. While the asking price of £300,000 translates to £515/sqf, it's considerably above the local average of £327/sqf, leading to concerns about value. The extensive refurbishment needed throughout means that the all-in costs, combining the purchase price and renovation estimates, could leave you stretched against local benchmarks for this size of property.

Despite the price challenges, the property does have notable potential. With a good-sized rear garden, there is an opportunity to create an attractive family home and potentially unlock extra value through development, subject to planning permissions. The spacious layout across two floors allows for creative redesign, making the most of the living areas and bedrooms. However, the scale of the works is significant, and buyers should be prepared for a full-gut programme rather than a simple refresh.

Key opportunities

  • Extensive layout across two floors provides a blank canvas for reconfiguration and modernisation.
  • Good-sized rear garden offers potential for future development, subject to planning consent.
  • Opportunity to create a substantial family home by fully refurbishing the dated interiors.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Factor in roughly £450,000 before you finish, with refurbishment in the region of £150,000, leaving a gap of around 58% versus area norms for this sqft; post-works value sits outside our data.
