56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This Grade II listed period home has a strong character-led canvas: sash windows, high ceilings and an open fireplace, with usable accommodation and a fitted kitchen already in place. The asking price is £319/sq ft, 3.5% below the local average, which supports the project; however, the score is held back by the limited headroom against the implied current local average value, rather than by the scope to personalise the house.

The works look light: refresh dated finishes, replace worn kitchen and utility flooring, and tackle the overgrown, uneven raised garden. The bathroom has older fittings, while the photographed rooms otherwise appear usable. The property’s listed status is worth factoring into plans for changes to its historic features.

Key opportunities

  • Retain and bring out the period character, including sash windows, high ceilings and the sitting-room fireplace.
  • Refresh dated finishes and replace the visibly worn kitchen and utility flooring while keeping the existing fitted kitchen layout.
  • Improve the raised rear garden by clearing overgrowth and addressing the uneven paving and stepped access.
