Description

Denise White Estate Agents presents a three-storey property currently arranged as two self-contained apartments, with a separate ground-floor area that remains partly unfinished. The upper accommodation is described as completed, while the ground floor offers scope to be finished as a commercial unit, a further apartment or part of a larger home, subject to the necessary consents and building regulations. The ground floor includes two reception rooms, a utility room, a shower room being installed and access to a cellar. The upper floors are reached through a separate entrance. One apartment has an open-plan living, kitchen and dining space with a breakfast bar, a double bedroom with built-in storage and an ensuite shower room. The other is a studio-style unit with a living and sleeping area, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. The property is presented as an opportunity to retain the existing two-apartment arrangement or explore alternative uses, including a larger townhouse or mixed residential and commercial layout. Any change of use or reconfiguration would require the relevant permissions and regulatory checks. Leek town centre has independent shops, markets, cafes and pubs, with access to the Peak District and nearby attractions. The nearest rail stations listed are Stoke-on-Trent, Macclesfield and Buxton.

Our WHOTS verdict

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

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £215,000, this is priced below the local average at £194 per sq ft versus £232, making it an attractive entry point for a substantial three-storey property. The two upper-floor apartments look clean and usable, with contemporary fitted kitchens and bathrooms, while the ground floor is a clear opportunity to complete to suit a preferred use. The guide to the project is light, with an estimated £8,000–£18,000 of work; the asking price plus the renovation midpoint is £228,000, below the implied current local average value, though that comparison is not a renovated valuation.

The separate access to the upper apartments, together with the unfinished ground-floor space and enclosed courtyard, gives the property flexibility as a residential or mixed-use project. Any change of use or additional unit would be subject to the necessary permissions and building regulations.

Key opportunities

  • Complete the bare ground-floor space to suit a preferred residential or commercial use, subject to permissions and regulations.
  • Build on the two clean, modern upper-floor apartments, which have separate access.
  • Make use of the enclosed gravel courtyard and the property's flexible three-storey layout.
