Description

A three-bedroom Victorian terraced house that has been in the same family for around 30 years. The property has been maintained but is now dated, and offers scope for modernisation. The listing also identifies potential to extend into the loft, side return or pod, subject to the necessary checks and approvals, and notes an unusually large cellar and storage area. The house has a rear garden described as receiving morning and late-afternoon or evening sun. Cobbold Road is close to Wendell Park and Askew Road. Stamford Brook station is approximately a 15-minute walk away, with bus connections on Goldhawk Road and routes to Hammersmith Broadway. Marketed by Philip Wooller, Shepherd's Bush & Hammersmith.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

77out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

A strong project opportunity: the £895,000 asking price is around 23.5% below the local average per square foot, giving buyers an attractive entry point for a Victorian house with period character, timber flooring and an established garden. The medium-scale £55,000–£95,000 renovation range points to scope to update the dated interiors, including the kitchen and bathroom, while making the most of the unusually large cellar. At the £75,000 renovation midpoint, the purchase plus works comes to £970,000, compared with an implied local-average value of about £1.17m; that is a comparison with today’s local average, not a forecast of renovated value, and excludes stamp duty and fees.

The cellar’s visible staining or deterioration merits investigation, and the listing describes possible loft, pod or side-return extensions without evidence of feasibility. The established garden and Victorian setting near Askew Road and Wendell Park add to the appeal.

Key opportunities

  • Update the dated kitchen, bathroom and interior finishes to suit a buyer’s taste.
  • Retain and showcase the reception room’s period detailing and timber boards.
  • Make use of the unusually large cellar for storage, and enjoy the established garden.

Key risks

  • Visible staining or deterioration to the cellar masonry should be investigated to establish its cause and any remedial work.
  • The £55,000–£95,000 renovation range calls for a considered budget and programme; the full scope should be checked before committing.
