Description

This individual detached home in Backwell, dating back to around 1950, showcases a design influenced by the 1930s. While the property requires updating and reappointment, it offers extensive accommodation, generous proportions, and a lovely level garden. Located close to the village center, this property presents an appealing opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with potential. Uniquely, it features two garages, each with its own driveway access, enhancing convenience and functionality. Renovation opportunities in established village settings are becoming increasingly rare, making this detached dormer bungalow particularly attractive. The property is set within a superb plot, providing ample indoor and outdoor space with considerable scope for adaptation or extension, subject to necessary consents. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious reception hall that leads to all principal ground floor rooms, while a staircase ascends to the first floor. The generous reception room, currently configured as a combined living and dining area, is bright and airy, featuring a broad bay window and a fireplace that serves as a natural focal point. The open-plan kitchen/dining room is also double aspect, complete with fitted bench seating and a doorway leading to a workshop that could easily serve as a utility room. This space provides direct access to one of the garages and the garden. The ground floor hosts two comfortable bedrooms, with the larger bedroom enjoying a front-facing bay window and the second bedroom overlooking the rear garden. A bathroom and separate cloakroom complete this level. On the first floor, there are two additional bedrooms; the larger one offers views across the village towards Backwell Hill, while the second is a single bedroom with a rear garden outlook. Outside, the property features a horseshoe driveway with separate gateways for the two garages. The driveway allows for ample parking and leads to a paved patio at the rear. The expansive lawned garden is complemented by well-stocked beds and a productive vegetable area, creating an attractive setting with significant potential for extension if desired. Backwell is one of North Somerset's most sought-after villages, known for its impressive homes and convenient amenities. With easy access to Bristol and local schools, parks, shops, and recreational facilities, this property combines charm with practicality. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential this home has to offer.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached Backwell home presents a solid renovation opportunity within a spacious plot, featuring two garages which add unique value. While the interiors are dated throughout, this allows for a canvas where personal style can be introduced. The property's generous proportions and excellent location near the village centre further enhance its appeal, making it a prime candidate for a revitalizing update.

The kitchen and living areas show signs of age and will require updating, but this also means there's significant scope to create a modern, functional living space tailored to your preferences. With a renovation budget of £40,000 to £80,000, there's potential to transform this property into a distinctive family home while capitalizing on its good fundamentals and location. The asking price of £549,950 stands as a guide, and while floor area is missing, the overall value proposition remains neutral, making this an interesting prospect for those looking to invest in this type of project.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious plot with two garages providing valuable parking and storage options.
  • Significant potential to modernise and personalise the dated interiors, particularly the kitchen.
  • Ample opportunity to adapt or extend the existing accommodation, subject to necessary consents.

Key risks

  • Medium-scale renovation required to address the dated condition throughout.
  • Potential damp issues or similar concerns may exist, which would need to be investigated.
