Confidence: MEDIUM

This five-bedroom detached house in the desirable Kingswood Warren Estate presents a unique opportunity for renovation and improvement. Set on a generous plot of over half an acre, the property boasts substantial living space and existing planning permission for a new dwelling, allowing for significant potential to craft a bespoke home. The exterior and garden are in good condition, providing a solid foundation to build upon, while the interior shows signs of age and wear, particularly in the living areas and kitchen, which are dated but functional.

However, the asking price of £1,550,000 equates to £522/sqf, which is above the local average of £489/sqf. When combined with the renovation range of £100,000 to £250,000, the all-in costs could be stretched compared to local benchmarks for this floor area. This creates a challenging economic outlook, given that the total investment may not align with the implied market value of similar properties in the area. While the location and plot size remain attractive, prospective buyers should carefully consider the financial implications of this project before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Large plot size of over half an acre with planning permission for a new dwelling, allowing for extensive development.
  • Existing home provides a spacious layout with multiple reception rooms and the potential for modernization.
  • Good exterior condition and garden space, including a swimming pool and former tennis court.

Key risks

  • Asking price plus renovation costs lead to all-in expenses that may exceed local value benchmarks, posing a financial risk.
