Description
This three-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a large corner plot and is described as requiring full modernisation. The ground floor includes a reception hall, a lounge with a bay window, a dining room, a further bedroom or reception room, a bathroom, a dining kitchen and a utility area or outbuilding. Two additional bedrooms and a separate WC and washroom are arranged on the first floor. Original features are noted in the particulars.
Outside, the property has established gardens on three sides, including a mainly lawned rear garden, along with two driveways, a carport and a detached double garage. St Werburgh's Metrolink stop, Chorlton Park, the village and local schools are cited as nearby. The accommodation and plot offer scope for a substantial refurbishment, subject to inspection and verification of the property's condition.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial project, but the large corner plot, gardens on three sides, two driveways, carport and detached double garage give it a distinctive canvas. Original details and the bay window add character, while the dated and damaged interiors, neglected outbuilding and overgrown grounds offer plenty of scope to reshape and improve the property. The £85,000–£160,000 renovation range signals a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh, and the visible roof condition cannot be fully assessed from the photos.
The 45/100 grade reflects weak investability, although the fundamentals and location score well. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the £500,000 asking price alone does not establish whether it is cheap or dear.
Key opportunities
- Rework the neglected interiors, including the worn kitchen and bathroom, to create a coherent modern home while retaining original details and the bay window.
- Make use of the large corner plot and gardens on three sides to improve the outdoor space and establish a stronger connection between house and garden.
- The two driveways, carport, detached double garage and utility/outbuilding offer useful scope to improve storage and practical use of the site.
Key risks
- The extensive internal disrepair, debris, damaged finishes and neglected outbuilding, together with £85,000–£160,000 of indicated works, make this a full-gut budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Visible staining across several rooms and apparently damaged or open floor areas need investigation and repair.
- Boarded openings and the partly visible roof coverings warrant inspection; the roof's full condition cannot be determined from the photos.
