Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a significant renovation opportunity. Positioned on an elevated plot, the property features gardens both at the front and rear, providing ample outdoor space for potential landscaping or enhancement. Located conveniently within walking distance to the town centre, Waterside Retail Park, leisure centre, and local medical facilities, it offers a practical setting for family living or investment. The accommodation begins with an entrance hall leading to a sitting room, complete with a front-facing window and a brick fireplace that could be restored to its former glory. The kitchen, which requires modernisation, includes wall and base units along with multiple windows that allow for natural light. A ground floor cloakroom adds convenience. Upstairs, the landing provides access to three bedrooms, each with their own unique dimensions and potential for reconfiguration or updating. The bathroom is functional but would benefit from refurbishment to meet contemporary standards. Outside, the property boasts a generous garden space that could be transformed into an attractive outdoor area. With all mains services connected, this home is ready for a new owner to bring it back to life through thoughtful renovation. Offered at auction, this property is an excellent candidate for those looking to invest in a project with considerable potential.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a significant opportunity for renovation enthusiasts looking to create a bespoke home in a good location. With a guide price of £160,000, the absence of floor area data means value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed, but the pricing itself is neutral. The property is situated conveniently near local amenities, enhancing its appeal for future occupants.

The interior of the house is dated, with visible wear throughout, including worn flooring and decor in the living areas and bedrooms. The kitchen and bathroom require modernisation and significant refurbishment, presenting a blank canvas for a complete redesign. The outdoor space, while overgrown, offers potential for landscaping and improvement. With renovation costs estimated between £80,000 and £120,000, this project is not for the faint-hearted, but it certainly allows for creative freedom in transforming the space into something special.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the dated interiors into a modern living space tailored to your style.
  • Revamp the overgrown garden into an inviting outdoor area for relaxation and entertainment.
  • Utilize the existing layout to create an open-plan living area or enhance room functionality.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £80,000–£120,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
