Description
This three-bedroom detached chalet-style home has a flexible arrangement of reception rooms and a notably deep rear garden. The ground floor includes a living room, a further reception area, a dining room, a rear kitchen and a large shower room. A front room is currently used as an office and could also serve as a bedroom or additional reception space. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite, together with eaves storage.
The accommodation is described as requiring modernisation, and the existing rooms offer scope to reconsider how the living and dining areas are used. Any alterations or extension would be subject to the relevant permissions and consents. Outside, the rear garden is stated to extend to around 180ft, with a driveway providing off-street parking. The property is freehold and has a stated floor area of approximately 1,244 sq ft. Rawreth Lane is close to local amenities, leisure facilities and schools, with access to Rayleigh.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £390,000, this detached house is priced at about £314 per sq ft, around 24% below the local average—a clear opportunity to acquire at a comparatively low entry price. The dated but usable interiors offer scope to modernise the galley kitchen, bathrooms, finishes and flooring, while the long garden gives the project a distinctive outdoor canvas, with overgrowth and worn hard landscaping to tackle. The asking price plus the £45,000–£75,000 renovation range indicates the scale of the project; the engine’s £450,000 midpoint calculation is not a GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.
Flexible reception space, driveway parking and an approximately 180ft garden add to the appeal. The listing also describes possible extension potential, but feasibility and permissions are unverified. Overall, this is a good-value, medium-scale project with room to create a more contemporary home and make better use of its generous plot.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated galley kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and interior finishes to suit a new owner.
- Rework the flexible reception layout to create a more contemporary arrangement for living, dining and entertaining.
- Make the approximately 180ft garden a feature by clearing overgrowth and improving the worn paving and deck.
Key risks
- The garden’s overgrown sections, uneven or bare areas, worn paving and weathered deck will need attention as part of the project.
