Description

This detached four-bedroom property presents a unique opportunity for renovation, situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and within walking distance of local amenities. The Millers House, dating back to the early 1880s, offers a generous plot and the potential for personal customization. Recent upgrades include a full rewire and the installation of a new kitchen and family bathroom within the last two years. Notably, there is planning permission in place for a kitchen extension, allowing for further enhancement of the living space. The accommodation spans approximately 1,780 sq. ft across two floors. Upon entry, you are welcomed into a hallway that leads to well-proportioned reception rooms, including a sitting room with a feature fireplace and an additional flexible reception room ideal for various uses. The dining room is bright and inviting, featuring a wood burner that serves as a focal point. The kitchen, recently updated with contemporary units, benefits from dual aspects for ample natural light and includes integrated appliances. A small lobby connects the kitchen to a sunroom, offering further potential for additional living space. On the first floor, the 'C' shaped landing provides access to all four double bedrooms, each well-sized, along with a family bathroom that has been modernized with a stylish suite. Externally, the property boasts a sweeping gravel driveway and gardens that wrap around the house, primarily laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging. A patio terrace provides an excellent space for outdoor entertaining. Wotton-under-Edge offers a variety of amenities, including shops, schools, and leisure facilities, with numerous walking and cycling opportunities nearby. The property is connected to all mains services and is offered with no onward chain.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This four-bedroom detached house presents a solid opportunity for renovation, particularly for buyers looking to make their mark on a dated property. While the asking price of £650,000 translates to £365/sqft, which is slightly above the local average of £359/sqft, it's worth noting that this house comes with planning permission for a kitchen extension, adding potential value to your investment.

The property has seen recent updates, including a modern kitchen and bathroom, but much of the interior remains in need of cosmetic improvement. The living areas and bedrooms show signs of wear, which means there’s plenty of scope for those willing to refresh the interiors. The garden and exterior also require some maintenance, but they offer a canvas for enhancement. With a good location and no onward chain, this listing is ideal for someone looking to develop a home that suits their style while benefiting from the existing modern amenities.

Key opportunities

  • Planning permission in place for a kitchen extension, allowing for significant improvement and value addition.
