Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a solid opportunity for buyers eager to take on a refurbishment project. Priced at £340,000, the asking figure is a reasonable £272/sqf, which is 5.7% below the local average. While the property's all-in costs may feel tight against local benchmarks, the potential to add value through modernization is significant. The generous garden space and ample off-road parking add to its appeal, making it a great canvas for your design vision.

Internally, the house exhibits dated interiors, particularly in the living areas and kitchen. The kitchen features basic units that would benefit from an upgrade, while the wet room, although recently refitted, may still require some updates. Overall, there is a clear need for a programme of refurbishment, but this also means there’s ample opportunity for you to personalize the home to your taste. With no upward chain, this property invites you to explore its potential and transform it into your dream home.
