This detached house presents a significant renovation opportunity for buyers looking to restore a spacious family home to modern standards. Originally built in the 1970s, the property has seen a decline in upkeep over the years, making it ideal for those experienced in renovation work. The layout includes a generous entrance hall, a cloakroom, and access to a garage, along with a kitchen and an open-plan living room that flows into the dining area. An annex provides additional living space, featuring a reception room, bedroom, and bathroom. On the first floor, you will find three double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom.
Externally, the property boasts a private rear garden that, once cleared, could serve as a lovely space for relaxation or entertaining. Conveniently located on Port Road East, it offers easy access to local amenities, parks, and public transport links. This property is perfectly positioned for commuters while still enjoying the benefits of coastal town living. Offered at auction, this is a unique chance to acquire a property with great potential.

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a substantial renovation canvas: a detached five-bedroom home with spacious living and dining areas, a garage, driveway and a private rear garden, plus a described annex. The £290,000 guide price works out at about £120/sq ft, well below the local average of £281/sq ft, making the guide a clear acquisition opportunity. Bidding can take the hammer price above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The project is extensive, with worn floors, dated finishes and damaged or stained walls and ceilings in several areas; the kitchen and bathrooms also offer scope for replacement. Clearing the overgrown garden could reveal a useful outdoor space. The score reflects the strong guide-price and economic case, balanced against the scale of the works and moderate risk; the listing also flags possible structural defects, which need checking. The annex’s legal status and suitability for separate use should be verified.
Key opportunities
- Rework the generous living and dining spaces and dated interiors to suit a modern family home.
- Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a coherent whole-house update.
- Clear the overgrown rear garden to reveal its usable area and create an outdoor space; verify the annex’s status and potential use.
Key risks
- Worn flooring and damaged or stained wall and ceiling surfaces across several areas, together with the dated kitchen and bathrooms, make this a £65,000–£105,000 full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a substantial budget and programme.
- The listing flags possible structural defects, so commission a thorough survey and investigate any concerns before proceeding.
