Description

Formerly the village post office, this one-bedroom semi-detached cottage has been converted for residential use and is offered as a renovation project with substantial work already completed. The works described include a new roof and timber trusses, insulation and replastering, external redecoration, chimney repointing, a rear kitchen extension and a new timber staircase leading to the first-floor bedroom and bathroom. New slate flooring has been laid on the ground floor. The electrical rewire is in place but still requires final installation of plugs and connection to the consumer unit. A new electric boiler has been installed, and most plumbing work is reported complete. The kitchen is partly fitted, with one unit still to install. In the bathroom, the WC and basin are fitted and the shower tray is installed; shower doors are included but need fitting, and a roll-top bath will need to be supplied and installed. The remaining completion work can be finished to the purchaser's specification. Outside, there is a small rear area enclosed by a stone wall and accessed from the kitchen. Roadside parking is noted in the listing. The property is freehold, with a private right of way. Further details, including the outstanding completion work and the status of the electrical installation, should be checked before purchase.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This former village post office has an unusual character and a substantial amount of the renovation is already in place: the listing reports a new roof, insulation, rewire, boiler, replastering and a rear kitchen extension. The remaining work is about completing and finishing the interior to your own specification, with kitchen and bathroom components already present; the small rear area also offers scope for clearing and improvement. The exterior looks recently redecorated, though the roof’s condition cannot be confirmed from the photographs.

At £95,000, the asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The score is 44/100 (E, Low Opportunity), with value and overall economics not fully assessable from the available area data. The renovation range is £18,000–£35,000, so this is a completion project rather than a cosmetic refresh.

Key opportunities

  • Complete the remaining interior finishes and tailor the former post office’s cottage character to your preferred style.
  • Finish the partially fitted kitchen and bathroom using the cabinetry and fittings already on site.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed rear area, making better use of the small outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Unfinished surfaces and materials across several areas, alongside an £18,000–£35,000 works range, make this a completion programme to budget and schedule rather than a cosmetic refresh.
