Description
Offered with no onward chain, this three-bedroom terraced house has a living/dining room, a separate reception room, a kitchen, a ground-floor WC and an upstairs bathroom. The accommodation also includes a staircase with under-stairs storage and a rear garden with gated access to a walkway.

It is of non-standard construction, which may affect mortgage availability, so prospective purchasers should confirm finance eligibility with their lender or broker before proceeding. The construction type and the scope of work should be checked with appropriate professional advisers.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial project with a clear scope for someone looking to reshape and renew a three-bedroom home with two reception areas and an enclosed rear garden. The interiors are heavily worn, with an open damaged section of ceiling and pronounced staining and deterioration in places; the cause and concealed extent need investigation. The kitchen, bathroom and finishes offer scope for a broad update, while the garden appears to call for clearing and tidying rather than major reconstruction.
The WHOTS score is 48/100 (E, Low Opportunity), reflecting limited condition scoring and unknown value metrics rather than a judgement that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed. The £65,000–£105,000 renovation range makes this a full-gut-scale budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh. Non-standard construction also warrants specialist assessment and confirmation of finance options before proceeding.
Key opportunities
- Rework and refresh the two reception areas, using the existing timber panelling and staircase as character elements or a starting point for a new interior scheme.
- Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom fittings and renew worn floor coverings and finishes across the home.
- Clear and tidy the enclosed rear garden to make better use of its paved areas and outdoor space.
Key risks
- The open damaged ceiling, pronounced staining and deterioration in places, and visible staining in the ground-floor WC need investigation; the cause and concealed extent are not established.
- The £65,000–£105,000 works range, damaged finishes and remedial work make this a full-gut-scale budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Non-standard construction may limit mortgage availability and requires specialist assessment and lender confirmation.
