Description

This four-bedroom period terraced house is arranged over three floors and offers a substantial amount of accommodation, including three reception rooms, a separate kitchen, a bathroom and a separate WC. The rooms retain features such as bay windows, stained glass, picture rails and fireplaces. The property requires renovation and modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update the interiors and consider how best to use the existing space, subject to any necessary consents. The kitchen has space for freestanding appliances and a door to the rear garden. On the upper floors are four bedrooms, eaves storage and a further wash basin in one of the top-floor rooms. Outside, the west-facing rear garden includes a patio and an outside WC. There is also a front garden with a tiled path to the entrance. Oakleigh Park Drive is within reach of Leigh Broadway, the seafront, Old Leigh, local schools and transport connections. The property is offered for sale by private treaty and presents an opportunity to refurbish a large period home in Leigh-on-Sea.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This scores 47/100, grade E: the project has real character and scale, but the overall opportunity is limited. The asking price is £525,000–£550,000; floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet. The large period reception rooms, bay windows, fireplaces and stained glass give a strong foundation for a substantial family-home transformation, while the west-facing garden could become a useful outdoor entertaining space.

Key opportunities

  • Use the generous reception rooms, high ceilings, bay windows, fireplaces and stained glass to create a characterful period interior.
  • Rework the three-storey layout to suit family life, home working or entertaining, subject to any necessary consents.
  • Clear and improve the west-facing rear garden and patio to make better use of the afternoon and evening sun.

Key risks

  • The £55,000–£95,000 works range and substantial interior, kitchen, bathroom and garden improvements make this a major budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Visible wall and ceiling damage, including deterioration in the bathroom area, needs investigation before the scope is finalised.
  • The roof condition cannot be confirmed from the supplied views.
