Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Bo-Peep Farmhouse is a charming 18th Century Grade II Listed six-bedroom detached house located in a serene hamlet beneath the South Downs Way. The property retains many appealing original features and spacious living areas, making it a lovely canvas for a renovation project. While the interiors show significant signs of age, including dated bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms, these aspects present an opportunity for a buyer to modernize and enhance the property to their taste.

At a guide price of £1,250,000, the property is priced slightly above the local average at £392/sqf compared to £383/sqf. However, given the all-in cost of approximately £1,325,000 when including the anticipated refurbishment budget, the economics look tight against local benchmarks. This could be a valuable project for someone willing to invest in updates, particularly considering the well-maintained garden and the appealing location. An early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential this property has to offer.
