Description

This three-bedroom end terrace offers a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a substantial renovation project. Spanning four levels, the property features a lower ground floor kitchen, a lounge, a large bathroom, and three bedrooms, alongside an enclosed rear garden that requires landscaping. While the home is in need of a comprehensive refurbishment, it already benefits from gas central heating and uPVC double glazing. The generous room sizes and layout provide ample scope for improvement and value addition. The lower ground floor kitchen is equipped with existing fittings, including wall and base units, a stainless-steel sink, an electric oven, and a gas hob. However, it will require updating to meet modern standards. The ground floor includes an entrance lobby and a well-proportioned lounge that leads to the spacious bathroom, which also needs refurbishment but offers good potential due to its size. On the first floor, two double bedrooms provide comfortable living spaces, while the uppermost floor features a third bedroom with access to eaves storage. The exterior of the property boasts a low-maintenance garden that presents an opportunity for landscaping to suit personal preferences. Located conveniently within Gainsborough, the property is close to local amenities and transport links, making it an appealing option for investors or those seeking a home to renovate. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the full potential of this property.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking a substantial renovation project. Priced at £50,000, the property is exceptionally cheap at £61/sqf compared to the local average of £187/sqf, making it a great entry point for investors aiming to create value through refurbishment. The generous room sizes and layout provide ample scope for improvement, allowing for a tailored finish that can significantly enhance the property's appeal.

However, the condition of the house is poor, with visible damage and debris throughout, including the living areas, bedrooms, and garden. The kitchen and bathroom, while spacious, are outdated and require complete refurbishment. The exterior also needs attention, with necessary repairs and painting to restore its charm. Given the extent of the work needed, prospective buyers should prepare for a heavy project, with a renovation budget estimated between £80,000 and £120,000. Despite these challenges, the potential for a significant value increase through careful renovation makes this property a worthwhile consideration for the right buyer.

Key opportunities

  • Generous room sizes allow for creative reconfiguration and modernisation.
  • The spacious garden presents an opportunity for landscaping to enhance outdoor living.
  • The layout supports a functional family home, with potential to improve energy efficiency.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £80,000–£120,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
