Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This charming Shaftesbury cottage on Elsley Road presents a compelling opportunity for renovation enthusiasts looking to create a bespoke home in a desirable location. With three well-proportioned bedrooms and a generous double reception room, the layout offers plenty of potential for reconfiguration or modernisation. The property also boasts a sizeable outdoor space, perfect for summer entertaining or turning into a personal garden retreat.

The asking price of £675,000 is notably cheap compared to the local average of £931/sqf, which sets the stage for a savvy acquisition. Although the interior is dated and requires significant refurbishment, this is your canvas to transform. The kitchen and overall condition reflect the need for a complete overhaul, but with a renovation budget of £100,000 to £150,000, this project can turn into a rewarding venture, especially given the property's potential to extend (subject to planning consent).

Key opportunities

  • The generous outdoor space allows for the creation of a private garden retreat or entertaining area.
  • The existing layout offers flexibility for modernisation or reconfiguration to suit personal style.
  • The potential for extension provides an opportunity to increase space and value.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
