Confidence: MEDIUM

This five-bedroom detached house in Leckhampton presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with significant renovation potential, set within a desirable plot in a tranquil enclave. Priced at £1,000,000, the asking figure translates to £411/sqf, which is notably below the local average of £462/sqf, giving buyers a chance to enter the market at a competitive price. However, the home requires a heavy refurbishment, with a projected renovation budget between £100,000 and £200,000, reflecting the dated interiors and general wear observed throughout the living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom.

While the property shows signs of age, including outdated decor and fixtures, the spacious layout and prime location offer ample scope for reimagining the living space. Buyers can take advantage of the large plot and established garden, which, with some maintenance, could enhance the overall appeal of the property. The potential for exciting future development also presents an attractive prospect for those looking to invest in a home that can be tailored to their needs, subject to planning permission. Overall, while there are challenges to address, this property stands out as a strong opportunity for those willing to undertake a substantial refurbishment project.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial refurbishment potential throughout the interiors allows for a complete reimagination of the living spaces.
  • The large plot provides room for garden enhancements and potential outdoor living areas.
  • The sought-after location offers privacy and tranquility while being close to local amenities and schools.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
