Description

Offered at auction, this compact two-storey home in Landkey is described as having a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom, study or dressing area, shower room and an enclosed rear garden. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the kitchen providing access to the garden and stairs to the first floor. The particulars describe the property as requiring modernisation and refurbishment, giving a purchaser scope to update the existing layout and finishes. The village setting provides access to the surrounding countryside and nearby amenities. Buyers should review the auction legal pack and make their own enquiries about the property, its condition and suitability before bidding.

70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £50,000, this is a notably cheap entry point: the asking price works out at £107/sq ft, around 60% below the local average. The two-storey village house has an enclosed rear garden and visible character in its exposed beams, giving a buyer a compact canvas to reshape and personalise. The roof looks broadly intact in the available ground-level views.

The project is substantial rather than cosmetic, with dated kitchen and shower-room finishes, worn flooring, damaged and cracked wall finishes, and an overgrown garden. The £30,000–£55,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved; the asking price plus that range is £80,000–£105,000 before fees, not a valuation or guaranteed resale figure. It is offered by online auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide price, so the eventual purchase price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the compact two-storey layout and finishes to make a personalised village home, with the exposed beams offering a character detail to build around.
  • Replace the visibly worn kitchen and shower-room finishes as part of a coherent modernisation.
  • Clear and restore the enclosed rear garden and its hardstanding to create a more usable outdoor space.

Key risks

  • The worn interiors, damaged wall finishes and overgrown garden point to a £30,000–£55,000 works programme, so budget and programme for a substantial job rather than a cosmetic refresh.
