Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This Grade II listed detached house presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to restore a period property to its former glory. With a sizable plot of just under 5 acres, the potential for enhancing the living space and the surrounding gardens is significant. The property’s historical character, including three reception rooms with original brick fireplaces and woodburning stoves, provides a unique canvas for creating a stunning family home.

While the asking price of £950,000 is notably cheap at £359/sqf compared to the local average of £513/sqf, the interior requires extensive refurbishment. Multiple rooms show signs of wear and neglect, with the kitchen and bathroom notably needing significant updating. The outdoor space and the presence of a double garage and outbuilding add further value, but potential structural issues and the extent of the needed renovations must be carefully considered. This project is perfect for a buyer ready to tackle a full-gut programme and make this historic residence shine again.

Key opportunities

  • Large plot size allows for extensive landscaping and potential outdoor projects.
  • The historical features of the house, including original fireplaces, provide unique character and charm.
  • The layout allows for reconfiguration to modern living standards while preserving its period charm.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£250,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Potential structural issues may require additional attention beyond the initial renovation budget.
