Description

This chain-free four-bedroom detached house is set on the Roselands Estate and has extended ground-floor accommodation, a large rear garden and substantial parking and storage. The ground floor includes a lounge, separate breakfast room, conservatory/dining room, fitted kitchen, utility room and cloakroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a main bedroom with en-suite, and a separate shower room. The rear garden measures approximately 65 by 65 feet and is mainly lawn, with mature planting, a paved patio and established boundaries. At the front, a driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a double-length garage of around 31 feet. There is also a detached workshop. The plot and existing layout may offer scope for further extension or reconfiguration, subject to planning permission and the required approvals. Roselands Primary School, local amenities and Hoddesdon town centre are nearby.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a well-kept detached house with a standout established garden, generous parking, a long garage and a substantial workshop. The dated kitchen and bathroom finishes offer a manageable cosmetic refresh, while the plot and existing layout provide scope to explore reconfiguration or extensions, subject to the necessary approvals.

The main drawback is the price: at £750,000, it is above the local £/sqf benchmark, and adding the stated £6,600–£18,000 refurbishment range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against local values for this floor area. That comparison is with the local average, not a forecast of post-renovation value, so despite the attractive fundamentals this scores as a low overall opportunity at the asking price.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated but usable kitchen and bathroom finishes as a focused cosmetic project.
  • Explore the stated potential to extend to the sides or rear, subject to planning permission and other necessary approvals.
  • Make the most of the broad established garden, paved patio, generous driveway, long garage and substantial workshop.

Key risks

  • At the asking price, even the stated light refurbishment budget leaves the purchase-and-works outlay stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this size.
  • Budget around £762,300 before you finish, with refurbishment in the region of £12,300 — roughly 15% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition; post-works value sits outside our data.
