51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At a £120,000 guide price, this two-bedroom terrace has a useful amount of space to work with: the lounge and separate dining room are usable, both bedrooms are well proportioned, and the main bathroom is a particularly strong feature, with a large bath, separate shower and twin basins. Dated finishes across several principal rooms offer scope for a cosmetic refresh, while the kitchen appears to call for local making-good rather than a wholesale rethink. The rear yard also has direct roller-shutter access and could be improved as a practical outdoor space.
Key opportunities
- Refresh dated wallpaper, timber detailing and finishes across the lounge, dining room and bedrooms.
- Make good the marked kitchen wall and update the older-style finishes while retaining the existing layout if suitable.
- Improve the worn, hard-surfaced rear yard, which has direct access through the roller shutter.
Key risks
- The loft is unfinished and has extensive visible damage to walls and ceilings; establish the cause and scope before relying on it as usable space.
