Description

Situated on the attractive Latham Road, this semi-detached house offers a prime opportunity for renovation and personalisation. The property is conveniently located within walking distance to the town centre, with easy access to local amenities including shops, schools, and public transport links. The spacious driveway and front garden lead to a welcoming entrance hall that opens into a good-sized sitting room, providing a perfect starting point for creating a modern reception space. At the rear, the kitchen and dining area span the width of the house and present considerable potential for reconfiguration and updating. This area flows into a conservatory, enhancing the connection to the rear garden, which offers privacy and a blank canvas for landscaping. The ground floor also includes a useful cloakroom/WC and access to the integral garage. On the first floor, three well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for family living or home working. The principal bedrooms feature built-in storage, while the third bedroom offers versatility for various uses. The family bathroom completes this level. With gardens to both the front and rear, this property not only provides off-road parking but also ample outdoor space for family enjoyment. While some updating is required throughout, the underlying accommodation is well-proportioned and tidy, making it an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a stylish home in a well-established residential area.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

59out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This semi-detached house on Latham Road presents a notable opportunity for buyers looking to acquire a property below the local average price per square foot. At an asking price of £400,000, which equates to just £383/sqf, it's 12.1% cheaper compared to the local average of £436/sqf, making it an attractive entry point for those willing to invest in renovations.

While the property is showing its age with dated interiors in several rooms, including the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, this provides a canvas for new owners to modernise and personalise the space. The well-proportioned bedrooms and the spacious driveway add to its appeal, while the garden, though tidy, allows for potential landscaping improvements. With a renovation budget estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, buyers have the chance to reconfigure the kitchen and dining areas, creating a more contemporary living environment that suits modern family life. Overall, despite its D grade, this property stands out as a solid investment opportunity with the right vision for improvement.
