Description

This four-bedroom terraced house in Wigton is arranged over four floors, with a ground-floor living room, kitchen and utility room, two cellar rooms below, and bedrooms and a bathroom across the upper floors. The listing describes the property as requiring full refurbishment. The kitchen and bathroom are both noted as needing work, while the cellar rooms provide additional storage space. A communal yard is located to the rear. Offered at auction through the Modern Method of Auction, the sale includes a 56-day reservation period. The buyer is required to purchase the information pack and pay a non-refundable reservation fee, subject to a stated minimum. The house is described as Grade II listed, so prospective buyers should verify the listing details and establish what consents may be required for proposed works.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This four-bedroom, Grade II listed house in Wigton offers a substantial four-floor project, with generous rooms and two cellar spaces to bring into the plan. The worn floors and finishes, dated fittings, and deteriorated areas in the cellar and rear exterior create scope for a major reworking, including a new kitchen and bathroom. The £65,000–£110,000 renovation range signals a full-scale job rather than a cosmetic update.

The score is 47/100 (E, Low Opportunity), reflecting limited condition points and value that cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf: the floor area is missing. The £65,000 asking price alone does not establish whether it is cheap or dear on that basis. Cellar staining warrants investigation, though no clear major structural failure is visible in the photos.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the four floors and generously sized rooms into a coherent family-home layout.
  • The two cellar rooms offer scope to improve and make better use of the lower-ground-floor space.
  • Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom and renew worn floors and finishes to create a more consistent interior.

Key risks

  • The £65,000–£110,000 works range, widespread worn finishes and damaged cellar surfaces make this a full-gut budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Pronounced cellar staining and deterioration need investigation to establish whether moisture treatment or other repairs are required.
