Description

This substantial Victorian detached villa is arranged as five self-contained dwellings on a single freehold title: a four-bedroom principal residence, a bungalow and three apartments. The principal home includes large reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and an en-suite bedroom. The separate units have individual electricity and water supplies and accounts, as well as separate council tax assessments. The property has south-facing gardens with sea views, a covered veranda and an adjoining terrace. A gated driveway provides extensive off-road parking. The existing arrangement offers scope to continue using the accommodation separately, while the listing also identifies the possibility of exploring a return to a single residence, subject to feasibility and any required approvals. A defined garden area for the bungalow may also be considered, subject to suitable arrangements. Some accommodation requires modernisation, and energy-efficiency improvements are needed to the letting units. Most of the letting accommodation uses electric heating; the principal residence has a gas supply. Buyers should review the individual EPCs, obtain advice and quotations for required works, and investigate finance against the building’s configuration and intended use. Cash purchasers are particularly encouraged, and those seeking mortgage finance are advised to consult a specialist broker before viewing.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £750,000, Warberry House is offered at about £142 per sq ft, well below the local average of £260: a strong acquisition-price opportunity for a substantial Victorian villa. Its five existing dwellings, extensive parking, south-facing garden and sea views give buyers several ways to approach the property, whether retaining separate accommodation or exploring a return to a single home, subject to feasibility and approvals.

The photographed interiors are generally clean and usable, with characterful reception rooms and a principal kitchen whose older finishes offer scope for a light refresh. The asking price plus the stated £5,000–£15,000 renovation range indicates the scale of the immediate cosmetic work; the required energy-efficiency improvements to the letting accommodation need separate assessment using the individual EPCs and professional advice.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at about £142 per sq ft, substantially below the local average, with a light refresh to dated finishes.
  • Make use of the established arrangement of five self-contained dwellings, each with separate utility supplies and council tax assessments.
  • Enjoy or enhance the south-facing garden, covered veranda and sea views; consider whether a defined garden area for the bungalow is feasible.
