DetachedDescription
This unique detached house, located on the outskirts of Waberthwaite, presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to invest in a spacious family home. With four double bedrooms and a variety of living spaces including a snug and lounge, the property offers ample room for customization. The dining kitchen, characterized by its beamed ceiling and traditional Rayburn, serves as the heart of the home, while the upstairs landing provides access to all bedrooms and the family bathroom, which is in need of some updating. Outside, the property boasts a lawned garden to the front and side, a patio area, and gated driveway parking, all set against a backdrop of stunning rural views. Although the home requires modernisation, it holds significant potential for buyers to create their ideal living space. Offered for sale with no upper chain, this property is an excellent choice for those seeking a project that can be transformed into a forever home. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size and potential this house has to offer.

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
Croft House has the bones of a distinctive rural family home: it is detached, has four double bedrooms, a gated driveway and a lawned garden, with an open outlook. The beamed dining kitchen, traditional range cooker, snug and separate workshop give the project character and room to shape; the workshop could potentially become extra living space, subject to checking its condition and suitability.
The photographed interiors need substantial updating, with worn floors and dated finishes across several rooms, damage to the landing and bedroom finishes, and a tired bathroom. The £25,000–£45,000 works range gives a sense of the project scale, while the exterior appears broadly intact in the available views. At 48/100, this is a lower-opportunity result rather than a strong value-led pick: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. This is an auction guide price, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Rework the large beamed dining kitchen around its traditional range cooker, retaining the period character while updating the finishes.
- Refresh the four-bedroom home’s dated finishes, worn flooring and bathroom, with scope to make the interiors your own.
- Explore whether the separate workshop could be incorporated as an additional room, and improve the overgrown parts of the garden.
Key risks
- The worn and dated finishes across photographed rooms, visible damage to the landing and bedroom finishes, and tired bathroom make this a substantial multi-room programme; allow for the £25,000–£45,000 works range and time beyond a cosmetic refresh.
- Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
