Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom house is located within walking distance of Holmes Chapel village centre, with local amenities, schools and transport links, including the railway station, nearby. The accommodation includes an entrance vestibule and hallway, a front lounge with a box bay window, and a large open-plan dining kitchen with access to the rear garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The listing describes the property as requiring renovation and modernisation, with decorative work and new flooring needed. The kitchen has fitted units and a central island, while the bathroom has a four-piece suite and is stated to require replacement. The existing layout provides a starting point for updating the interior. Outside, the front is block paved and may offer scope for off-road parking, subject to a dropped kerb and any required permissions. A good-sized rear garden also offers scope for landscaping.

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

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a characterful three-bedroom project within walking distance of Holmes Chapel village centre, with a spacious lounge, bay window and generous dining kitchen providing a solid base for a family-home makeover. The dated finishes and worn or unfinished flooring across several rooms offer clear scope to redecorate and refloor, while the bathroom is stated to require replacement; the overgrown rear garden also has room to be reshaped. The kitchen looks dated, though the photos do not establish that it needs a full replacement. The guide renovation range is £27,000–£47,000.

The overall score is 52/100 (D), with the convenient location and sound-looking layout among the positives. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; without that comparison or a stated GDV, the numbers do not establish the likely resale margin.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the patterned decoration and worn or unfinished flooring across several rooms to give the home a coherent new finish.
  • Replace the bathroom suite and assess the dated kitchen for the right level of updating.
  • Clear and re-establish the overgrown rear garden, while exploring the front garden’s potential for off-road parking subject to permissions.

Key risks

  • The rear garden needs substantial clearance and re-establishment, so allow for the work and time involved.
  • Floor area is unavailable, preventing a local £/sqf value comparison; resale economics also cannot be judged without a stated GDV.
