Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious three-bedroom semi-detached house presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers or investors looking to create their ideal home. Priced at £120,000, the property is notably cheap compared to the local average of £196/sqf, making it 49.6% below the market rate. This affordability allows for a significant margin once renovations are completed, with potential all-in costs estimated around £180,000 against a local average value of £237,958.

While the interior is dated and requires modernisation, this offers a blank canvas for buyers to tailor the space to their preferences. The large living areas, three double bedrooms, and a good bathroom provide a solid foundation for a successful renovation. The garden and garage add further appeal, making this property a compelling project to consider.
