Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached Art Deco home presents a strong opportunity for those looking to acquire a property below the local average price per square foot. With an asking price of £700,000, which translates to just £371/sqf, the property is 28.2% cheaper than the local average of £517/sqf. This price advantage positions it well for future value creation after renovations.

While the property does require modernisation throughout, including a dated kitchen and signs of general wear, these factors provide a substantial scope for improvement. Notably, the home boasts excellent extension potential, subject to planning permissions. The good-sized garden and off-street parking add further appeal to the offering, making it an enticing project for buyers with vision and the willingness to invest in refurbishment. With a moderate renovation range of £50,000 to £100,000, this property offers a canvas to enhance its Art Deco charm and create a modern living space in a good location.
