Description

This four-bedroom semi-detached house on the edge of Copplestone has a flexible ground-floor layout, with a lounge, separate dining room, kitchen and cloakroom. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with an en-suite, and a family bathroom. The kitchen requires replacement or substantial refurbishment, and the property is described as needing a comprehensive programme of updating. Outside, a long side driveway provides parking for around four vehicles and access to a garage. The rear garden needs clearing and contains tired outbuildings and a lean-to greenhouse. The house has uPVC double glazing, gas central heating and mains drainage. The listing also notes localised water ingress to the main bedroom ceiling, thought to relate to a cracked roof tile, and 12 solar panels that are out of use pending investigation of a suspected inverter fault. The property is freehold and has mains utilities. Copplestone has rail and bus connections, local shops and a primary school. The house offers scope for refurbishment, with the roof issue, solar system and garden structures requiring further assessment.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

71out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £300,000, this four-bedroom semi-detached house is priced at £232/sqf, well below the local average of £299/sqf—an attractive entry point for a buyer looking to create value. Its generous bedrooms, separate reception spaces, substantial driveway parking and garage give the project a strong foundation.

Key opportunities

  • Replace or substantially refresh the dated kitchen and update the finishes across the usable reception spaces and bedrooms.
  • Clear and reshape the overgrown rear garden, with scope to remove or replace the tired outbuildings and lean-to greenhouse.
  • Make the most of four-bedroom accommodation, separate reception rooms, a garage and unusually generous driveway parking.

Key risks

  • Investigate the reported bedroom-ceiling water ingress and suspected cracked roof tile; the roof condition cannot be fully assessed from the available views.
  • The 12 solar panels are currently out of use, with a suspected inverter replacement to be checked by a qualified engineer.
