Description

This three-bedroom terraced house is located approximately one and a half miles from Romsey town centre, offering convenient access via local bus routes or by car. The area features nearby shops, with Romsey providing a wider selection including a Waitrose superstore and various local retailers, bars, and restaurants. The property is approached through a front garden leading to an entrance porch that opens into the hall. This space provides access to a ground-floor cloakroom and the main living area. The sitting/dining room is a generous central space, featuring stairs to the first floor and double doors that lead directly to the rear garden. There is considerable potential for reconfiguration and modernisation to create an open-plan layout suitable for contemporary family living. An opening from the dining area leads into the kitchen, which currently has a range of base and wall-mounted units along with a pantry. This kitchen would benefit from a complete replacement, presenting an opportunity to design a stylish and functional modern space. Upstairs, the landing grants access to three bedrooms, which include two well-proportioned doubles and a single, all equipped with built-in storage. A family bathroom completes the first floor, which also requires comprehensive updating. The property boasts gardens at both the front and rear, with the rear garden providing a good-sized private outdoor space. Additionally, there is a garage located within a separate block along with an associated parking area. There is potential to create off-road parking at the front, subject to necessary permissions. Overall, this property presents significant scope for improvement and modernisation. While it requires a full refurbishment program, its existing three-bedroom layout, gardens, garage, and potential for parking make it an attractive project in a convenient Romsey location.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This terraced house in Romsey presents a compelling renovation opportunity, especially with an asking price of £222,000, which is significantly below the local average of £436/sqf. This price advantage opens the door for savvy buyers looking to invest in a property with considerable scope for improvement. The generous living space and three bedrooms with built-in storage offer a solid foundation for those wishing to reconfigure and modernise the layout to create a contemporary family environment.

While the property shows signs of wear and dated finishes throughout, including the kitchen and bathroom which require complete updates, these aspects should be viewed as opportunities for transformation rather than drawbacks. The overgrown garden also presents a chance to create an inviting outdoor space. Overall, this property is well-positioned for those ready to engage in a full refurbishment project to unlock its potential in a desirable location.

Key opportunities

  • The spacious living room allows for reconfiguration, enabling a modern open-plan design.
  • The three bedrooms with built-in storage provide a functional layout that can be enhanced with contemporary finishes.
  • The overgrown garden offers the potential for landscaping to create an attractive outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £80,000–£150,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
