39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This former farmhouse has the bones of a distinctive, substantial project: seven bedrooms, original fireplaces and period details, sea and rural views, and several stone and agricultural outbuildings. The photographed interiors are severely deteriorated, with damaged ceilings and finishes, a kitchen and bathroom to comprehensively rework, and a floor with extensive missing boards and exposed joists. The £110,000–£190,000 renovation range reflects a full-gut scale of work, with scope to reshape the house into a character family home or explore its rental potential.
At £160,000, the asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing; the available figures also do not establish the finished value. The elevated setting and outbuildings are appealing, but the aged-looking roof coverings and the condition of the house and grounds call for close inspection. Overall, this is a high-commitment project with some compelling character, rather than a straightforward value-add opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Rework the substantial seven-bedroom farmhouse into a character family home or assess its potential for rental use.
- Restore original fireplaces and period details, with the Belfast sink offering a distinctive feature to incorporate into a redesigned kitchen.
- Improve the overgrown grounds and assess the stone buildings, barns and carriage shelter for repair or possible alternative use; permissions and feasibility are unverified.
Key risks
- Severely damaged interiors, deteriorated kitchen and bathroom finishes, and extensive missing floorboards with exposed joists make this a full-gut programme; the £110,000–£190,000 works range requires a substantial budget and longer programme than a cosmetic refresh.
- Aged-looking roof coverings and multiple outbuildings need close inspection to establish their condition.
