Description

This detached house presents a unique opportunity for development, nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac at the edge of the sought-after village of Collingham. Spanning approximately 0.3 acres, the property boasts private grounds with river frontage and riparian rights, offering a rare chance to create a substantial home or investment. The existing structure, extending to around 1,770 sq ft, includes an entrance porch, reception hall, an L-shaped open-plan sitting and dining room, a separate kitchen, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional WC. While the property requires comprehensive modernisation and improvement, it offers a solid footprint with significant potential for refurbishment, extension, or complete redevelopment, subject to planning consent. Notably, the property has previously experienced subsidence and has undergone remedial work, resulting in some deflection to floors and cracking to walls. Therefore, it is currently un-mortgageable, and prospective buyers should thoroughly assess the structural condition and future insurability. The expansive grounds provide ample opportunity for landscaping and enhancement, allowing for the creation of formal gardens and outdoor entertaining areas. With its established residential footprint and desirable setting, this property is an intriguing proposition for developers, investors, or those seeking to craft a unique home.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached house presents a unique opportunity for those looking to undertake a substantial renovation project. With a generous plot of approximately 0.3 acres and desirable river frontage, there's significant potential to create a remarkable home or even explore redevelopment options, pending planning consent. The existing structure offers a solid footprint, allowing for various possibilities, whether that be a complete overhaul or thoughtful extensions to enhance the living space.

However, the property does require extensive modernization, as indicated by visible signs of aging and structural concerns linked to subsidence. This means prospective buyers should be prepared for a comprehensive renovation journey, which may limit mortgage options. Despite these challenges, the location on a quiet cul-de-sac and the attractive garden space provide a canvas for those with vision and ambition to transform this property into something truly special. The asking price of £600,000 is below the local average, making it a reasonable entry point for a project of this scale, though buyers should be aware that bids could exceed this guide price, especially in the current market.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial plot with river frontage offers potential for landscaping and outdoor enhancements.
  • Existing layout provides a solid foundation for modernization or complete redevelopment.
  • Quiet cul-de-sac location in a desirable village presents an attractive setting for a new home.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and structural concerns from previous subsidence make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
