69out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This 4-bedroom detached house presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a spacious home at a notably cheap asking price of £395,000, which is 26.1% below the local average at £250/sqf compared to £338/sqf. The property boasts a generous layout with potential for extension, making it ideal for families or those looking to add value through renovations. The modern kitchen offers a functional space, while the large living area, adorned with a charming log burning stove, invites you to create a warm and welcoming environment.

However, the property does require substantial refurbishment, with visible wear throughout the living areas and garden. The dated condition of the exterior and the garden also presents an opportunity for significant improvement. With a renovation budget estimated between £100,000 and £150,000, prospective buyers can transform this house into a stunning residence while enjoying the benefits of its prime location in Exning, close to local amenities and excellent schools.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout that allows for a flexible use of space and potential extensions.
  • Modern kitchen providing a great starting point for culinary enthusiasts.
  • Generous walled rear garden that can be transformed into a beautiful outdoor retreat.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Visible wear and potential damp issues throughout the living areas may require attention.
