Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This semi-detached house presents a solid opportunity for first-time buyers or investors looking to create value. With a light refurbishment needed and a guide price of £165,000, the property's overall good condition is a strong point, with a modern kitchen and functional bathroom already in place. The versatile layout and welcoming interior provide a canvas for personal touches, while the generous side 'yarden' offers exciting outdoor potential for future enhancements, such as extensions, pending planning permissions.

Although the absence of specific floor area makes it challenging to evaluate value against local averages, the appealing asking price combined with the light renovation range of £10,000 to £25,000 suggests a manageable project. This home is offered with no upper chain, making it an attractive proposition for those ready to invest in their future.

  • Generous side 'yarden' offers potential for outdoor enhancements and extensions.
