Manor Road, Emsworth, West Sussex

At £210,000, this is a notably low entry point for Southbourne: the asking price is about 37% below the local average per square foot, making the price a clear strength for a buyer looking to take on a project. The dated finishes create scope to refresh the interiors, with a usable enclosed garden and a generous plot adding to the canvas. The listing also mentions potential to enlarge or reconfigure, subject to the necessary consents.

The renovation range is £35,000–£60,000, with the main visible work being decoration and flooring, alongside optional updates to the older kitchen and bathroom and improvements to worn garden paving and fencing. Roof tiles show weathering, though no obvious major failure is visible. This is an online auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide price, so the eventual purchase price may not remain this cheap.
