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.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This four-bedroom Victorian house presents an exciting opportunity for modernisation, although the overall condition shows signs of significant wear and neglect throughout. The living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen all require extensive refurbishment, while the garden is overgrown and poorly maintained, making it a blank canvas for any potential homeowner.

Despite the dated interiors, the property is in a good location with access to local amenities and transport links, which adds to its appeal. However, the asking price of £1,200,000 appears dear compared to the local average sale price of £543,684, which could limit its attractiveness as an investment. With a renovation budget of £100,000 to £200,000, there is considerable scope to transform this house into a contemporary family home, but it's essential to be mindful of the heavy project scale involved in revitalising this property.

Key opportunities

  • Transform dated interiors into a modern family home with a contemporary layout.
  • Utilise the extensive garden space to create an outdoor oasis.
  • Explore potential for extension, subject to planning permission, to increase living space.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
