Description

This three-bedroom detached villa is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, providing an excellent opportunity for those looking to create a substantial family home. The property features generous accommodation spread over two floors, with considerable scope for modernisation throughout. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a hallway that includes under-stair storage and a staircase leading to the upper floor. The open-plan living and dining room is well-proportioned, illuminated by a large front-facing window, while patio doors from the dining area lead out to the garden. The kitchen is equipped with a range of base and wall-mounted storage units, along with a useful breakfasting space. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom and a shower room. On the first floor, the landing provides access to additional storage cupboards, two spacious double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Externally, the property occupies a generous corner plot with mature gardens extending to the front, side, and rear. A driveway offers off-street parking and access to the garage. Additional benefits include a full gas central heating system installed in 2023 and double glazing throughout. The combination of ample accommodation, a detached setting, spacious gardens, and significant potential for modernisation presents buyers with a unique opportunity to personalise the property and create an ideal family home. Properties with this level of potential are rarely available on the market, making early viewing advisable to fully appreciate the accommodation and opportunities on offer.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom detached villa presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a property at a guide price of £180,000, which is notably cheap at £172/sqf compared to the local average of £190/sqf. Positioned within a quiet cul-de-sac, the home boasts generous accommodation across two floors and a spacious corner plot, making it an excellent candidate for renovation and modernization.

However, while the price is attractive, the economics of the project are stretched. With renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, the all-in cost could reach £240,000, which is significantly above the implied local average value of £198,099. This highlights the importance of careful budgeting for prospective buyers. The visible wear in the living spaces, bedrooms, kitchen, and shower room indicates the work required, yet offers a canvas for personalisation and improvement. This property could evolve into a fantastic family home with some vision and effort.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious corner plot with mature gardens, ideal for landscaping and outdoor enhancements.
  • Generous accommodation layout offers significant scope for modernisation throughout.
  • Potential to create a substantial family home with personal touches.

Key risks

  • Worth allowing for £240,000 once the asking price and an estimated £60,000 of refurbishment are combined, about 17% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
