Description

A substantial four-bedroom property arranged over four levels, including a basement, with a former shop frontage at ground level. The accommodation includes a long entrance hall, a large shop or potential flat space, a lower-level room and basement, plus a first-floor kitchen, open-plan living area and WC. Three bedrooms and a shower room are on the second floor. The listing describes two separate courtyard areas, accessed from the basement and first floor, and notes that the roof was replaced around ten years ago. Planning permission is stated to have been granted for conversion from a shop with a flat above into two maisonette flats, including changes to the front elevation and excavation at the rear. The agent also identifies possible HMO use or a larger multi-flat scheme, subject to the relevant consents and approvals. Buyers should verify the status and scope of the existing permission and assess the building and services before proceeding. The property is offered with no onward chain and is marketed by Saxons Estate Agents in Weston-super-Mare.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £220,000, this substantial four-storey property is offered at about £102/sq ft, well below the local average of £253/sq ft. That makes the asking price a standout acquisition opportunity, while the four-bedroom layout, basement and two courtyard areas give a buyer plenty to work with. The listing also states that permission was granted for a two-maisonette conversion, though the current status and feasibility should be checked.

Key opportunities

  • The four-storey layout, including the basement and former shop spaces, offers a substantial canvas to rework the accommodation; the stated permission for two maisonettes provides a potential starting point, subject to verification.
  • Two separate courtyard areas add useful outdoor space and scope to create more appealing private spaces as part of a conversion.
  • The asking price is substantially below the local £/sq ft average, creating an attractive entry point for a buyer able to take on the project.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors, exposed framing, damaged finishes and debris across the property point to a heavy full-interior rebuild; plan for a substantial programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Ceiling damage and staining are visible in several photographed rooms, and the rear courtyard has exposed masonry and structure; investigate the cause and extent before committing.
