Description

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.

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

82out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached house presents a strong renovation opportunity, particularly appealing to buyers with experience in property development. With an asking price of £330,000, this translates to just £137/sqf, which is significantly below the local average of £281/sqf, making it a compelling entry point for investors looking to add value. The spacious layout offers the potential for a large family accommodation, ideal for those seeking room to grow.

However, the property is in poor condition overall, with visible signs of neglect and damage throughout, including dated interiors and an overgrown garden. The extensive renovation required indicates a full-gut programme rather than a simple refresh, which presents both challenges and opportunities for a discerning buyer. The potential structural issues noted further reinforce the need for a comprehensive approach to the renovation, but these elements also allow for a complete transformation into a modern family home. With a budget for renovations estimated between £100,000 and £200,000, the scope for improvement is significant, especially given the advantageous entry price.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout ideal for large family accommodation
  • Potential to transform dated interiors into modern spaces
  • Opportunity to rejuvenate the overgrown garden into a relaxing outdoor area

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Possible structural issues may require additional attention during renovations.
