Description
Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rotherham is presented as a full refurbishment project. The ground floor has a front reception room with a bay window and a rear kitchen area that has also been used as a utility space. The first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower enclosure. The listing describes the décor and floor coverings as stripped back and notes that the kitchen and bathroom require modernisation. Gas central-heating pipework and radiators are in place, although the system will need attention.
Outside, there is an enclosed front approach and a generous rear garden with a paved terrace and an outbuilding. The property is within reach of local amenities, schools and transport links. The sale is through the modern method of auction, with a 56-day reservation period and additional buyer fees; prospective bidders should review the information pack and terms before proceeding.
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 £86,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced at about £88 per sq ft against a local average of £190, making the asking price a standout acquisition opportunity. The 74/100 B grade reflects that value and the scope to add value: worn or stripped finishes across several rooms, a damaged kitchen floor and fitted area, a dated bathroom, and wall staining and deterioration create a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh. The £35,000–£65,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved; the exterior appears broadly intact in the available views, and the enclosed paved rear garden offers room to improve the outdoor space.
Key opportunities
- Use the stripped-back interiors as a blank canvas to plan new finishes and rework the living space around the front reception room and rear kitchen/utility area.
- Replace or repair the visibly damaged kitchen floor and unfinished fitted area, then modernise the dated bathroom as part of a cohesive upgrade.
- Make the enclosed paved rear garden more appealing by tackling weeds and refreshing the weathered timber outbuildings.
Key risks
- Worn or stripped finishes across several rooms, damaged kitchen elements and a £35,000–£65,000 works range make this a substantial full-house programme, with budget and timing well beyond a cosmetic refresh.
- Wall staining and deterioration are visible in one area and should be investigated to establish the cause and extent before works are scoped.
