Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Situated on a quiet and well-regarded road, the property is just a short walk from Chorlton Village and local amenities. Although in need of complete modernisation and refurbishment throughout, it offers significant potential for buyers to create a contemporary home tailored to their preferences. The spacious layout includes an enclosed porch, entrance hallway, lounge with a bay window, and a sitting/dining room with sliding patio doors leading to a generous rear garden. The kitchen and utility area provide additional functional space. Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms, with the main and third bedrooms featuring full-height fitted wardrobes, as well as a bathroom equipped with a three-piece suite. The exterior boasts a walled front garden and a gated driveway for off-road parking, while the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the potential this property holds.

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chorlton offers a considerable renovation opportunity for buyers willing to take on a heavy project. The property is in need of complete modernisation, with visible signs of neglect throughout, including dated interiors, worn carpets, and an outdated kitchen and bathroom. However, its location on a quiet road, close to local amenities and the Metrolink, enhances its appeal, presenting a chance for a buyer to create a contemporary home tailored to their personal tastes.

With a guide price of £375,000, it stands at a neutral value due to the absence of square footage data, meaning the price cannot be directly compared to local £/sqf averages. Keep in mind that the bidding process might push the final sale price above this guide. The potential for a significant refurbishment, along with the spacious layout and good-sized garden, offers a canvas for imaginative renovations, including possible extensions, subject to planning permissions.

Key opportunities

  • Extensive scope to modernise and completely refurbish the interiors, allowing for a bespoke design.
  • A generous rear garden space offers potential for landscaping or even expansion of the property.
  • The property's structure allows for reconfiguration of the layout to enhance space and light.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £120,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
