Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial double-fronted detached period residence presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property significantly below the local average price per square foot, making it an enticing prospect for investors and homeowners alike. With an asking price of £895,000 translating to just £256/sqf, this listing is 34.6% cheaper than the local average, allowing for a substantial margin for value creation upon renovation.

The home boasts an impressive 3,500 sqft of space over four floors, currently configured as three self-contained apartments, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or investment potential. The period features, including high ceilings, original mouldings, and spacious rooms, are waiting to be restored to their former grandeur. While the property requires extensive refurbishment, including updates to the dated interiors, kitchen, and bathroom, this is a canvas for a visionary buyer to reimagine a unique residence in a prestigious location. The generous plot and the potential for cellar conversion further enhance the appeal of this project.

However, the scale of the renovation required should not be overlooked. Stripped interiors and a renovation budget of £100,000 to £250,000 indicate that this will be a full-gut programme rather than a simple refresh. Prospective buyers should also be aware of the dated condition and poor state of the garden, which will require attention to bring the outdoor space up to par.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout with the potential to restore and reconfigure into a grand family home or a lucrative investment property.
  • The multi-chamber cellar provides immense potential for conversion into additional living space, a home gym, or a cinema room.
  • Original period features throughout the property add character and charm that can be highlighted through thoughtful renovation.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£250,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Dated condition in several rooms and poor garden state will require significant investment to bring up to modern standards.
