Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached four-bedroom home presents a substantial project for those willing to invest time and resources into a full renovation. The property is situated in a desirable location near Mote Park, providing a peaceful setting with convenient access to local amenities. While the asking guide of £600,000 is slightly above the local average at £387/sqf compared to £367/sqf, it does offer an opportunity to create a family home tailored to personal specifications. However, the renovation budget of £100,000 to £200,000, combined with the asking price, results in all-in costs that stretch beyond local benchmarks for this floor area, making the economics a key concern.

Visible signs of neglect and wear are apparent throughout the home, including dated interiors in the living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom, along with potential structural issues that may need addressing. The large garden holds significant potential for enhancement, making it a valuable asset. Buyers should be prepared for extensive work to transform this space into a modern family residence, and the extensive refurbishment required indicates that this is a full-gut programme, not a quick refresh.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout allows for creative reconfiguration and modernisation.
  • Large garden ideal for landscaping improvements and family activities.
  • Private driveway and garage provide practical storage and parking solutions.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Purchase plus works may take you to around £750,000 when purchase and the £150,000 refurb range are added together — roughly 24% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition; post-works value sits outside our data.
