78out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial five-bedroom semi-detached period home presents an excellent opportunity for renovation enthusiasts. Priced at £395,000, the property is significantly below the local average at just £186/sqf, making it an attractive acquisition for those looking to create a magnificent family residence tailored to their taste. The generous layout spans over 2,100 sq ft and retains many attractive period features, providing a canvas for restoration.

While the interiors are dated and show signs of wear, the scope for transformation is vast. The kitchen and bathrooms require updating, and the overall condition suggests a comprehensive refurb is needed. However, with a renovation budget estimated between £80,000 and £150,000, the potential for value creation is substantial, especially given the implied current local average value of £739,849. The property’s impressive size and character make it a rewarding project for developers or buyers willing to invest in its restoration. Additionally, the good-sized garden and off-road parking further enhance its appeal, offering opportunities for outdoor enhancements as well.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial size with potential for reconfiguration and extension, subject to consent.
  • Characterful period features that can be restored to enhance the property's charm.
  • Good-sized garden offering opportunities for outdoor enhancements.

Key risks

  • Medium project scale requiring comprehensive updating throughout.
