Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial detached house offers a unique opportunity to create your dream home on an impressive 4.5-acre plot. The property boasts spacious interiors with multiple reception rooms and modern kitchen fittings, alongside a well-maintained bathroom. With a detached three-bedroom annex and a dedicated home office, there's plenty of scope for family living or even rental potential.

However, the asking price of £2,000,000 translates to £732/sqf, which is significantly above the local average of £498/sqf. This makes the initial investment quite steep when compared to local benchmarks. Even with a light refurbishment budget of £25,000 to £50,000, the all-in costs would still be stretched against the implied current local average value of around £1,362,626. Although the property has excellent fundamentals and a desirable location, prospective buyers should carefully consider the economics before proceeding.

  • Large garden area available for enhancement
  • Spacious interiors provide a blank canvas for personalisation
  • Potential for various uses of the extensive grounds, subject to planning permission

Key risks
