70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This expansive 13-bedroom detached house represents a unique opportunity to acquire significant space at a remarkably cheap asking price of £2,000,000, which is £270/sqf compared to the local average of £331/sqf. The property is dated and shows general wear throughout, but this also provides a blank canvas for those looking to undertake a renovation project. With a renovation budget of £100,000 to £200,000, buyers have the chance to enhance its appeal and functionality while still being well below the local average value.

The layout is impressive, featuring multiple reception areas, a kitchen/diner, and the potential for various configurations, including options for HMO or care home uses. The extensive grounds of nearly 4 acres, along with substantial parking and additional buildings, add to its versatility. While the interiors require refurbishment and there are signs of previous water damage that need to be addressed, the overall scale and privacy of the property make it an exceptional investment for the right buyer.

Key opportunities

  • Large property with significant space for various uses, including HMO or care home.
  • Extensive grounds approaching 4 acres, offering privacy and potential for outdoor enhancements.
