Description

This detached three-bedroom house in Holbrooks is being sold in its present condition and needs extensive renovation, refurbishment, cleaning and clearance. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, a large through lounge and dining room with patio doors to the rear garden, a fitted kitchen and a ground-floor shower room. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with fitted storage, and a family bathroom. The property has previously had a bathroom leak, which the seller says has been addressed by local builders. Buyers should make their own enquiries and inspect the property carefully, as the listing describes its current condition as very poor and says it is not ready to move into. The house also has a block-paved driveway, a double garage and a substantial rear garden with lawn and paved patio areas. Local amenities, schools, road links, the Ricoh Arena and Arena Shopping Park are noted as accessible from the area. The house may suit a buyer prepared to undertake a comprehensive project. The listing states that some images have been digitally altered and do not necessarily show the property's current appearance.

58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £250,000, the asking price is 18.2% below the local average per square foot, making this a comparatively cheap way to acquire a detached three-bedroom house with a double garage, a broad driveway and a substantial garden. The large through lounge/dining room and patio doors give the project a useful starting point for reshaping and modernising the home, while the overgrown garden offers scope to create a more usable outdoor space.

This is a full-scale project: the interiors are heavily cluttered and dated, the lounge ceiling has visible damage and staining, and the kitchen and bathrooms need substantial attention. The £55,000–£95,000 renovation range is a significant commitment, and purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks; the low entry price is attractive, but does not by itself guarantee a strong margin.

Key opportunities

  • The large through lounge/dining room and patio doors provide scope to create a more cohesive living and entertaining space.
  • A comprehensive update can replace the dated kitchen and bathroom fittings and refresh the home to a consistent specification.
  • The substantial, overgrown rear garden can be cleared and improved, complementing the double garage and broad driveway.

Key risks

  • The cluttered, damaged interiors and clearance needs make this a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; the £55,000–£95,000 works range calls for careful budgeting and programme planning.
  • The lounge ceiling has visible damage and staining, and the listing reports a previous bathroom leak; investigate the cause and confirm repairs before setting the works budget.
