Description

Underhill Estate Agents are pleased to present this three-bedroom bay-fronted terraced home, available for the first time in 80 years. Conveniently located within walking distance of Dawlish town centre, the beach, and excellent transport links, this property is a promising opportunity for buyers seeking a project. The home requires modernisation throughout, providing a blank canvas for those looking to create a space tailored to their own taste and specifications. With generous accommodation and significant potential, it invites creative vision to transform it into a comfortable residence. The entrance porch leads into a hallway with stairs to the first floor. The living room boasts ample space for furniture and features an electric fireplace with a tiled surround, along with a box bay window. The dining room includes a wooden box sash window, a feature fireplace with stone surround, and built-in alcove cupboards. The kitchen is equipped with fitted cupboards, a stainless steel sink, and space for appliances, with access to the rear courtyard and a separate WC. On the first floor, there is a loft room that serves as useful storage space. The bedrooms include two double rooms with box bay windows and a single room. The family bathroom features a panelled bath with a shower over, part-tiled walls, and essential fittings. Outside, the property offers a low-maintenance gravel garden at the front and a paved rear courtyard with two work stores that could serve as utility rooms. Offered with no onward chain, this property is an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom terraced house presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to undertake a renovation project. While the property has dated interiors with general wear and outdated decor observed throughout, it offers a blank canvas to create a home tailored to personal tastes. The living room, kitchen, and bathroom all require modernisation, but this gives savvy investors a chance to add significant value through thoughtful improvements. The exterior and roof are in good condition, providing a solid foundation to build upon.

Located conveniently near Dawlish town centre, the beach, and excellent transport links, this property is positioned well for future appreciation. The manageable courtyard garden adds to its appeal, making it an ideal project for those willing to invest time and effort into revitalising the space. Priced at £180,000, the lack of floor area data means the value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet, but the potential for enhancement is clear, especially considering that the home has been in the family for 80 years and is offered with no onward chain.

Key opportunities

  • Potential to modernise the kitchen and bathroom for improved functionality and appeal.
  • Opportunity to renovate dated interiors throughout the home, enhancing overall value.
  • A manageable garden space that can be transformed into a more inviting outdoor area.

Key risks

  • Condition may deter some buyers due to the extent of modernisation required.
