The second floor includes further bedroom and bathroom accommodation, as well as kitchen facilities, offering scope for independent or multigenerational use subject to any necessary consents. Wrought-iron gates open to a driveway, with large garages and storage buildings. The rear garden includes a level lawn, mature trees and a raised stone terrace.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £1,275,000, this substantial Georgian house is a strikingly low-cost acquisition by local space value: about £286 per sq ft against a local average of £508. Its 4,455 sq ft, grand period reception rooms, mature garden and gated driveway give the project real substance, while the dated finishes offer scope to refresh the interiors and update the main kitchen and visible bathroom. The existing renovation range is £45,000–£85,000, with the midpoint used in the score’s comparison; that comparison is against the implied current local average, not a forecast of renovated value.

There is also useful flexibility in the upper-floor kitchen facilities and substantial outbuildings, alongside a level lawn and stone terrace. The exterior and roof look broadly intact in the available views, though scaffolding is visible and its purpose is unknown. Overall, this is a strong-value, character-led renovation opportunity with plenty of space to shape around its next owner.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated interiors, including the main kitchen, second kitchen area and visible bathroom, while retaining the period cornicing, panelling and fireplaces.
  • Make the most of the upper-floor kitchen facilities and substantial outbuildings for flexible use, subject to any necessary consents.
  • Improve and enjoy the large level garden, mature boundaries and stone terrace, with gated driveway parking.

Key risks

  • Scaffolding is visible beside part of the building, but its purpose and any associated work are unknown.
