Confidence: MEDIUM

This semi-detached house presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers looking to create a fantastic home near the waterfront. With the asking price set at £125,000, it stands significantly below the local average of £158/sqf, making it a compelling choice for those willing to invest in a full renovation. The property's 'Category C listed' status may offer certain protections in terms of development, adding to its appeal.

However, the condition of the house is poor, with significant signs of neglect evident throughout. The living areas and bedrooms require extensive refurbishment, and there is currently no heating, with windows needing replacement. This heavy project allows for a complete reimagining of the layout and character of the property, offering a blank canvas for creative renovation. Potential buyers should be prepared for a full-gut programme, with a renovation budget estimated between £100,000 and £200,000, as the interiors are stripped and require comprehensive work.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the layout and character of this traditional house into a modern family home.
  • Utilize the property's waterfront location to enhance its appeal as a desirable residence.
  • Leverage the 'Category C listed' status for potential development advantages.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
