Description

This three-bedroom detached family home offers a fantastic opportunity for renovation and personalisation, situated just a short walk from the vibrant centre of Ashley Cross. Nestled on a generous plot, the property boasts ample space for potential extensions and improvements, making it ideal for those looking to invest in their dream home. The accommodation includes an entrance porch leading into a reception hall, with a spacious lounge featuring patio doors that open onto the rear garden. A separate dining room with French doors also provides access to the garden, alongside a functional kitchen. The first floor comprises three well-sized bedrooms and a bathroom, with the convenience of a cloakroom located on the half landing. Externally, the property features an in-and-out driveway, alongside a wide side driveway that offers additional parking or space for future development. The large rear garden is a highlight, complete with a raised terrace and a generous lawn bordered by mature shrubs, all enclosed by fencing.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached three-bedroom home has a strong canvas: two reception rooms, driveway parking, a detached garage and a generous mature garden, all close to Ashley Cross. The photographed rooms look liveable, with scope to refresh the traditional décor and finishes; the dated kitchen and bathroom, plus some garden tidying, offer clear ways to put a personal stamp on the property. The listing also describes scope to extend, though any plans would need to be checked for feasibility.

The main drawback is the price. At £630,000, the asking price is about 18% above the local £/sqf average, and adding the £7,000–£18,000 refurb range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area. That benchmark is not a forecast of the value after renovation, but it does make the current economics difficult to justify on the figures provided.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the traditional interiors, including the dated kitchen and bathroom, to create a more contemporary home.
  • Make the most of the generous lawn, mature borders, driveway and detached garage, with scope to improve the garden and outdoor areas.
  • Explore the listing’s stated extension scope, subject to planning and feasibility checks.

Key risks

  • At the asking price, adding the £7,000–£18,000 refurb range takes purchase-plus-works costs above the local benchmark for this floor area; that benchmark is not a post-renovation valuation.
