Grimsey Road, Leiston, IP16

This is a substantial detached house with spacious-looking reception rooms, three bedrooms and a partially converted attic, offering plenty of scope to reshape it into a sizeable family home. The renovation canvas is extensive: several rooms have worn floors and damaged or unfinished wall and ceiling finishes, while the kitchen, both photographed bathroom areas and neglected rear garden also offer clear improvement projects. The front brick elevation and roof look broadly intact in the available exterior image, though that view cannot confirm concealed condition. The works range is £65,000–£115,000, so this is a full-scale project rather than a cosmetic refresh.

The WHOTS score is 47/100, grade E (Low Opportunity), with good fundamentals and location but limited condition and price/value scores. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the score does not establish that the £175,000 asking price is cheap or dear. The listing also describes the property as unmortgageable in its current condition, and the attic’s compliance and suitability for habitable use need checking.
