Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious four-bedroom detached house presents a promising opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a project. With an asking price of £600,000, it comes in at £310/sqf, which is notably below the local average of £362/sqf, making it an attractive acquisition for those looking to add value through refurbishment. The property has been well-maintained externally, featuring a good-sized garden that backs onto open countryside, providing a peaceful retreat and potential for extension.

Inside, while the decor is dated and shows visible wear in several areas, this allows for creative renovation possibilities. The living areas, kitchen, and bathrooms are functional but would benefit from modern updates. The home's layout, including spacious living areas and ample bedrooms, offers a strong foundation for a stylish transformation. With renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, there is significant potential to enhance the property's appeal and value in this competitive market.
