Description

This four-bedroom detached house in Selby has a split-level arrangement, with the main living room and a long kitchen-diner on the lower ground floor and the bedrooms above. The kitchen-diner extends to almost nine metres and is fitted with a range of units, granite worktops and integrated appliances, with space for a dining table and access to the rear garden. The separate living room has windows overlooking the garden. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is notably spacious, alongside three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. A separate utility and wet-room area is also provided, and the boarded roof space offers storage. Outside, the enclosed rear garden includes mature planting, a pond, greenhouse and potting shed. There is an attached garage and paved off-road parking to the front. The property is subject to probate, and its established fittings and distinctive layout leave scope for a purchaser to update it to their requirements.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached home has plenty to work with: an unusual split-level layout, four bedrooms, a generous plot, garage and a mature, private garden. The nearly nine-metre kitchen-diner is a standout practical space, and the photographed main bathroom already looks relatively modern. Inside, the patterned wallpaper and traditional finishes offer scope for a light refresh rather than a major overhaul.

At £399,000, the asking price is about 6.3% above the local £/sqf average, so value is a limitation rather than a selling point. With purchase and works costs included, the numbers also look tight against local benchmarks. The strong space and garden make this an appealing project to personalise, but the overall opportunity is weak at this price.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the patterned wallpaper and traditional finishes to give the clean, usable interiors a more current feel.
  • Make the most of the long kitchen-diner, whose substantial fitted units, granite worktops and integrated appliances appear intact.
  • Prune and selectively maintain the mature garden to improve access while retaining its established privacy and character.
