Description

This 1930s semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Comprising three well-proportioned bedrooms, the property features a generous garden plot that offers potential for modernisation and general updating. There is scope, subject to planning permission, for adding a separate dwelling or substantially extending the existing structure. The entrance hall leads to a lounge with a bay window and an exposed pine floor, while the dining room includes a gas fire and access to the rear garden. The kitchen is equipped with cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine. Upstairs, the bedrooms retain character with features such as chimney breasts and exposed flooring. The bathroom and separate WC are functional but would benefit from updates. The property is sold with no onward chain, making it an appealing prospect for buyers looking to create their ideal home.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This 1930s semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity for a substantial renovation project, boasting generous garden space and charming period features that can be enhanced with modern updates. While the interiors are dated and require significant modernization—including the kitchen and bathroom—there's ample scope to transform this property into a beautiful family home.

The property is priced at £550,000, but without a specified floor area, we can't assess its value against local £/sqf averages. However, it does represent a chance to create value through thoughtful refurbishment, with renovation costs estimated between £100,000 and £200,000. Bidders should be aware that prices can exceed the guide during negotiations, but the potential for a rewarding project here is evident, particularly for those looking to capitalize on the house's character and space.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the dated interiors into a modern living space while preserving the character of the 1930s architecture.
  • Utilize the generous garden space for landscaping or potential extensions, subject to planning permission.
  • Explore possibilities for adding a separate dwelling to the side of the house, enhancing the property's value.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget indicate a full-gut programme, not a refresh; expect significant work to bring this home up to modern standards.
