A Rare Purchase Opportunity With Endless Scope & Potential - Hempstead Road

This detached house has a clear medium-scale project in its dated finishes: the visible living areas and bedrooms would benefit from refreshed flooring, redecoration and attention to patchy ceiling finishes, while the older kitchen and dark-tiled bathroom offer scope for a more contemporary finish. The connected ground-floor living zones, garage and driveway, and particularly the established gardens—around 100ft at the rear—give the project useful character and flexibility.

The price is the main constraint. At £450,000, the asking price is about 8% above the local £/sqf average, and the purchase price alongside a mid-to-substantial programme of works leaves costs stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area. That comparison is with current local averages, not a forecast of the value after renovation, so the project needs careful buying discipline.
