Description

Located in a well-established residential area, this traditional detached house presents a prime opportunity for buyers eager to modernise and personalise their new home. The property requires updating and refurbishment, but it boasts spacious accommodation and a particularly generous garden, allowing ample scope for the new owner to make their mark. The entrance porch leads into a welcoming hall that connects to the main living areas. There are two well-proportioned reception rooms, providing flexibility for family living, dining, or even creating a dedicated home office or playroom. At the rear, a compact kitchen offers access to a convenient downstairs WC. Upstairs, you will find two generously sized double bedrooms alongside a smaller third room that could serve various purposes, such as a box room, study, or dressing room, depending on individual needs. A family bathroom completes the upper level. The exterior of the property is a standout feature, occupying a large plot with an expansive garden that offers excellent outdoor space and considerable potential for landscaping and improvement. The size of the plot also opens up possibilities for extensions or reconfigurations in the future, subject to necessary planning permissions. Additionally, there is off-road parking at the front, a particularly useful feature in this location. The property is conveniently situated near local amenities, schools, recreational facilities, and transport links. Stapenhill Gardens and the River Trent are nearby, while Burton-on-Trent town centre offers a wider range of shopping and leisure options. The railway station is approximately 1.2 miles away, providing connections to destinations including Derby and Birmingham. This property is ideal for buyers who see beyond cosmetic presentation and recognise its potential. With its generous garden, spacious accommodation, off-road parking, and excellent plot size, it offers a rare opportunity to create a home tailored to personal requirements. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the size, position, and potential this property has to offer.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This traditional detached house presents a solid opportunity for buyers ready to take on a project. Although the asking price of £230,000 equates to £281/sqf, which is above the local average of £236/sqf, the property's generous plot and good-sized accommodation offer significant potential. The interior shows general wear and is dated, particularly in the living areas and the compact kitchen, but this creates a blank canvas for new owners to modernise and tailor the space to their liking.

The property includes two spacious reception rooms, providing flexibility for various living arrangements, and upstairs features two good-sized double bedrooms alongside a smaller third room that can serve multiple purposes. The large garden enhances the appeal, offering ample outdoor space for landscaping or potential extensions, subject to planning permissions. While the price may be a concern relative to local market trends, the overall potential for transformation makes this property worth considering for those looking to invest in a family home with room to grow.

Key opportunities

  • Generous garden provides extensive outdoor space for landscaping or potential extensions.
  • Two excellent-sized reception rooms offer flexible living options for family or home office.
