Confidence: MEDIUM

This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Allenton presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create value through renovation. Priced at £84,950, which is significantly below the local average at just £113/sqf compared to £239/sqf, this property allows for a substantial margin after refurbishment. The overall condition is dated, with general wear visible throughout, but this provides a blank canvas for modernisation and improvement.

The layout includes two spacious reception rooms, a kitchen with old units, and a bathroom that would benefit from updating. The garden is in poor condition, offering potential for landscaping. With a medium refurbishment scale estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, there is considerable scope to enhance the living space and possibly extend, pending planning permissions. This property is ideal for those willing to invest in a project to unlock its full potential.
