Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious two-bedroom semi-detached house presents an appealing project for both investors and first-time buyers. With an asking price of £190,000, which is significantly below the local average at £223/sqf compared to £289/sqf, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home with potential for value enhancement. The bright dual-aspect living room and generous bedrooms provide a solid foundation for personalisation, while the dated kitchen and bathroom are clear areas for improvement that can elevate the overall appeal of the property.

The overall condition of the home shows general wear, indicating that while it requires some refurbishment, the scale of the project remains light and manageable. The property's end-terrace position enhances its street presence and privacy, making it a strong contender for rental income as it is currently tenanted. With a renovation budget estimated between £20,000 and £40,000, there is ample scope for transforming this home into a modern living space that meets current tastes and standards.
