Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This Grade II listed 18th-century cottage offers a distinctive project: exposed timber framing, beams, fireplaces and traditional brick flooring give it plenty of character to work with, while worn floors and patchy finishes across several rooms create scope for a sympathetic refresh. The enclosed garden also has room for tidying and improvement, and the exterior appears broadly intact in the available views.
At £315,000, the asking price is £393/sq ft, around 24% below the local average of £519/sq ft — a strong acquisition point. The £48,000–£95,000 renovation range puts the midpoint all-in figure at £386,500 before stamp duty and fees; that is below the implied current local average value, though it is not a renovated GDV. The cottage is being sold via online bidding, so bids can take the hammer above the guide and the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a asking price around 24% below the local average £/sq ft.
- Refresh the worn interior finishes while retaining and showcasing the exposed historic timber, fireplaces and traditional flooring.
- Tidy and improve the enclosed garden, including assessing the weathered timber outbuilding.
Key risks
- Grade II listing may constrain choices of materials and methods for modernisation; confirm requirements before planning the works.
- The renovation range is £48,000–£95,000, so the project budget and programme should allow for the upper end if the scope expands.
