Description

This mid-terraced period home presents a unique opportunity for renovation in a desirable residential area. Spanning 1,525 square feet across four floors, the property features flexible accommodation that can be tailored to suit various needs. The enclosed rear garden adds potential for outdoor space, while the elevated position offers pleasant views over the city. Currently configured as a five-bedroom rental, it could easily be transformed into a charming four-bedroom family home with options for kitchen and reception room layouts. Notably, there is scope for a rear extension, subject to planning consent. The property has been let for many years and is now vacant, allowing for immediate updates. Additionally, Japanese Knotweed has been identified in a small section of the garden, with a survey and remediation plan available upon request. Located in Montpelier, this home is close to local amenities and transport links, making it an attractive investment or family residence.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

77out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £450,000, this four-bedroom, bay-fronted period terrace is priced at about £295/sq ft, well below the local average of £496/sq ft—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to add value. Its period features, elevated city views and flexible layout give the project plenty to work with, while the dated finishes, damaged wall surface in an upper room and overgrown garden point to a meaningful but defined programme of improvement. The guide renovation range is £45,000–£80,000; the garden’s stated Japanese knotweed issue should be reviewed alongside the survey and remediation plan.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a substantial discount to the local average on a £/sq ft basis, with scope to build value through improvement.
  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathrooms, redecorate and renew flooring to bring the period rooms together.
  • Restore the overgrown, stepped rear garden and explore the stated rear-extension potential subject to consent.

Key risks

  • Japanese knotweed is stated in a small section of the garden; review the survey and remediation plan and confirm treatment requirements.
