Description

This three-bedroom terraced house in the desirable village of Mawdesley presents a significant renovation opportunity. Offered at auction, the property requires a comprehensive programme of modernisation throughout, making it ideal for investors, developers, or buyers eager to create a bespoke home. The ground floor features traditional living spaces, including a living area and kitchen, which can be reconfigured to meet contemporary standards. Upstairs, the three bedrooms and bathroom facilities are in need of updating, providing a blank canvas for those with vision. Externally, the property includes a rear yard or garden area and a brick-built outbuilding, both of which also require attention but offer potential for enhancement. With substantial works needed throughout, this property is suited for those looking to undertake a full renovation project in a sought-after village setting where fully refurbished homes are highly desirable.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom end-terrace in Mawdesley is a full renovation canvas, with scope to reshape the traditional living spaces and create a home to your own specification. The kitchen and bathroom are ready for replacement, while damaged ceilings, dated finishes and an open floor section exposing joists make this a substantial project. The enclosed rear yard and brick-built outbuilding add useful scope for improvement, and the visible brick elevations and boundary walls appear broadly intact.

The WHOTS score is 46/100, grade E, reflecting limited condition points and value that cannot yet be assessed against local £/sqf: floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged. The auction guide price is £80,000; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The stated renovation range is £55,000–£95,000, making this best suited to a buyer ready to plan and manage a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the traditional living spaces and additional ground-floor area to suit modern living, subject to any necessary permissions.
  • Replace the very dated kitchen and bathroom and renew finishes throughout to create a home to your own specification.
  • Improve the enclosed rear yard and make use of the brick-built outbuilding as part of the overall property project.

Key risks

  • Damaged ceilings and visible cracking occur in several rooms, and the open floor section with exposed joists needs investigation before the repair scope is clear.
  • The £55,000–£95,000 works range, alongside stripped-back repairs and room-by-room renewal, makes this a full-gut budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
