Description

This recently built four-bedroom detached chalet-style house in Upminster is being sold in an unfinished condition, with completion works required before the accommodation is ready for use. Its ground floor includes a fourth bedroom, a study area, a large living room with garden access, and a substantial kitchen and family room with two roof lanterns and wide sliding doors to the rear. The kitchen and family space connects to a utility area and a plant room. A separate ground-floor room has been set aside for wet-room facilities but remains unfinished. Upstairs are three bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom has a recessed dressing area, while parts of the first floor have sloping ceilings and restricted headroom. The rear garden is approximately 38 by 40 feet and includes a patio, lawn and a separate garden room with a fitted bar, sauna and wet room. The paved frontage provides off-street parking. The listing notes nearby shops, The Coopers' Company and Coborn School, and road links including the A127 and M25. Buyers should allow for the work needed to complete the property and verify the scope and compliance of existing installations.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial, recently constructed chalet-style house with a striking 27'10" × 24'7" kitchen-family space, two staircases and a garden room with a bar and sauna. The exterior, garden hard landscaping and photographed en-suites appear largely complete, while the main living space and several upper-floor areas are visibly part-finished. That gives a buyer scope to complete the interiors around the house’s generous, versatile layout rather than simply refresh a finished home.

At £850,000, the score is held back by the scale of the project and gaps in the value assessment, not by a finding that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The £55,000–£95,000 renovation range signals a substantial completion programme, and the overall opportunity is rated low until the missing area data allows the economics to be assessed.

Key opportunities

  • Complete the exceptionally large kitchen-family room as the home’s main entertaining space, with wide garden doors and two sky lanterns.
  • Use the two staircases and generous, versatile accommodation to shape how the living and sleeping spaces work for the next owner.
  • Build on the established patio and garden room, which already includes a fitted bar, sauna and wet room.

Key risks

  • The part-finished interiors, including exposed structure and bare subfloors in several areas, plus a £55,000–£95,000 works budget, make this a substantial completion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
