Description

This four-bedroom semi-detached home combines period details with a range of established modern fittings. The ground floor has an entrance hall, two reception rooms with marble fireplace surrounds, and an L-shaped kitchen and breakfast area. The kitchen is described as having granite worktops and a Butler's oven, with a separate utility room and a ground-floor WC adding practical space. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a study or box room, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The bathroom is fitted with a steam shower and Jacuzzi bath. The listing also refers to attic rooms that provide additional space, with any future development subject to the necessary planning and building-control requirements. Original features noted include stained-glass windows, picture and dado rails, and a bell box. The flexible reception and study spaces offer scope to adapt the accommodation to different needs, while the attic rooms may warrant further investigation for their potential use.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a characterful four-bedroom semi with a lot already in good order: bay windows, stained glass, period fireplaces and a well-equipped kitchen give it a distinctive feel, while the two reception rooms offer flexible family or entertaining space. The light-touch project is mainly about tidying the patchy rear lawn and planting; the listing also mentions attic rooms with potential, though their condition and feasibility for further use are not established.

The score is a weaker overall opportunity, but not because the asking price has been shown to be dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The £3,000–£8,000 renovation range points to a relatively modest improvement project, with the garden the clearest immediate canvas.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the patchy lawn and tidy established planting to make better use of the enclosed rear garden.
  • Make the most of the period character, including stained-glass windows, bay windows and marble fireplace surrounds.
  • Explore the stated potential of the attic rooms, subject to establishing their condition and feasibility.
