Description

Riverside House is situated in the charming village of Berriew, offering a unique opportunity for those seeking a versatile property. This semi-detached house features extensive accommodation, making it ideal for large families or investors looking to capitalize on its development potential. The layout includes self-contained elements, with options to create rental units alongside two retail spaces. Currently, the property houses a trading butcher's shop and an additional retail area that has previously served as a gift and craft shop. The ground floor comprises two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, and W.C., while the first and second floors host five bedrooms and a bathroom. The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and is mostly double-glazed. A notable feature is the former gift and craft shop, which is also self-contained. The butcher's shop includes a cold store and has a one-bedroom flat above, complete with a bathroom and kitchen, offering independent access. Additionally, there is an option to take over the butcher's business as the current owner plans to retire. While the property does not have external space at the rear, it boasts a delightful roof terrace with views of the river and village. With its character and charm, Riverside House presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Riverside House presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a substantial semi-detached property in the charming village of Berriew at a remarkably low asking price of £300,000, which translates to just £101/sqf—57.1% below the local average. This pricing creates an exceptional entry point for investors looking to add significant value through renovation. The property boasts a versatile layout with potential for creating self-contained rental units and retail spaces, making it an appealing prospect for both residential and commercial development.

However, the condition of the interiors requires attention, with visible wear and outdated decor throughout the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen. The bathroom also shows signs of age and potential leaks, indicating that a comprehensive refurbishment will be necessary. The scale of work required is significant, with a renovation budget estimated between £100,000 and £200,000. This project is not a quick refresh—it involves a full overhaul to unlock the property’s potential, but the rewards could be substantial given the attractive margin against local values. Overall, this property offers a unique chance to invest in a characterful home with development opportunities in a desirable location.

Key opportunities

  • Versatile layout with potential for self-contained rental units and retail spaces.
  • Characterful property in a picturesque village, ripe for transformation.
  • Opportunity to take over the existing Butchers business, adding immediate income potential.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
