Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom detached house in Kessingland presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property that is currently priced well below the local average. With an asking price of £140,000, translating to just £127/sqf, this listing is an excellent chance to acquire a home in a desirable coastal village while benefiting from significant potential for value enhancement through refurbishment.

The property requires updating throughout, with visible wear and dated interiors, particularly in the kitchen and living areas. However, this also means there's a blank canvas for new owners to implement their vision. The exterior is in good condition, and the house boasts a sizeable garden alongside off-road parking, adding to its appeal. Additionally, there may be potential for extension, subject to planning consent, further increasing the property's value. Overall, this is a good opportunity for those willing to undertake a light renovation project to transform this house into a modern family home.
