Description

This characterful stone-built semi-detached house in the desirable village of Braithwell presents a significant renovation opportunity. Set on a generous plot, the property spans three levels and includes an additional cellar area. The layout features two reception rooms and three double bedrooms, making it ideal for a family home once restored. The gated driveway leads to a courtyard and a private garden at the rear, providing ample outdoor space. The front outbuilding, previously used as a shop, offers potential for commercial use or could be removed to create wider access, subject to necessary consents. With local amenities including a doctor's surgery, pub, and community centre, along with convenient access to major roadways, this property is well-positioned for redevelopment. Offered at auction, this is an excellent chance for investors or buyers looking to create their dream home.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This characterful stone-built semi-detached property in Braithwell presents an excellent opportunity for renovation enthusiasts. With an asking price of £180,000, it stands at just £107/sqf, significantly below the local average of £232/sqf, making it a solid acquisition in terms of price. The property is set on a generous plot with ample space to reconfigure and enhance the layout, offering potential for a beautiful family home once restored to its former glory.

However, the property does require extensive renovation throughout, with signs of neglect visible in several rooms, including the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen. The dated bathroom and kitchen fixtures will need replacing, and the overall condition indicates a heavy project. While the external roof appears average, the interior will necessitate a complete overhaul. Buyers should be prepared for a full-gut programme, with a renovation budget ranging from £100,000 to £200,000, reflecting the scale of work needed to bring this gem back to life.

Key opportunities

  • Reconfigure the layout to maximize space and functionality.
  • Restore the character of the stone build, creating a unique family home.
  • Potential to reinstate the front outbuilding for commercial use or improve access.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
