Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached family home offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a property with significant potential. The layout includes an entrance hall, a spacious lounge/diner, a bathroom, and an extended kitchen/breakfast room, complemented by three well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate WC. A standout feature is the generous rear garden, which benefits from vehicular side access and presents excellent potential for development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. While the property requires modernisation, it offers ample scope for extension and personalisation, making it an exciting prospect for those looking to create a spacious family home. Properties with such plot sizes and potential are rarely available, so early viewing is highly recommended.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
40out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
The standout here is the generous rear garden, with side access, alongside a large lounge/diner and kitchen/breakfast room. The dated finishes across the photographed rooms, plus the overgrown areas, discarded materials and worn paving outside, give a buyer clear scope to refresh the house and improve the garden; the listing also describes extension potential, though feasibility would need to be established.
Renovation economics weigh on the grade because the asking price is only one line of the budget; adding roughly £65,000 for works pushes total exposure towards £465,000, leaving a gap of around 22% versus area norms for this sqft. The economics score captures that squeeze; finished resale value is outside our model.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, with the kitchen/breakfast room offering a generous space to update.
- Refresh the dated décor and flooring across the photographed rooms, including the large lounge/diner.
- Clear and improve the substantial rear garden, with side access; the listing also mentions extension scope, subject to permissions and feasibility.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding the £45,000–£85,000 renovation range puts the purchase-plus-works cost well above the local average benchmark for this floor area; this is not a forecast of renovated value.
- Budget around £465,000 once the asking price and an estimated £65,000 of refurbishment are combined — roughly 22% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
