Description

This four-bedroom Victorian house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and modernization, having been in the same ownership for over 40 years. The property offers ample potential to transform it into a spacious and contemporary family home. There is also the possibility to extend, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. The absence of an upper chain simplifies the purchasing process. Located within walking distance of Chamberlayne Road, residents can enjoy a variety of local shops, cafés, and restaurants. Kensal Green and Kensal Rise stations are conveniently nearby, providing easy access to the Bakerloo line and London Overground. Additionally, the open spaces of Queen’s Park are just a short distance away.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This four-bedroom Victorian house has a clear modernisation canvas, with bay-window character and a mix of refreshed rooms and areas ready for improvement. The dated kitchen, deteriorated bathroom, marked finishes and neglected paved garden give scope to update the home, while the second, modern-looking kitchen is a useful existing asset. The listing also notes potential to extend, subject to planning permission.

At £1.2m, value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The 49/100, grade E score reflects that uncertainty alongside limited condition scoring, rather than a confirmed poor price or weak renovation economics. The visible works are moderate in scale, with a stated renovation range of £45,000–£85,000.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and deteriorated bathroom while retaining the pictured modern-looking second kitchen.
  • Improve the rear garden by clearing debris and weeds and replacing or upgrading the worn paving.
  • Explore the listing’s stated extension potential, subject to obtaining planning permission.

Key risks

  • Visible wall staining and damaged or peeling finishes in several photographed areas warrant inspection and repair planning.
  • The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
