Description
Offered chain free, this five-bedroom semi-detached house is arranged over three floors and includes two bathrooms, a ground-floor WC, smart heating and lighting, and full-fibre broadband. The ground floor has a through reception room with an original fireplace, built-in shelving and access to the rear garden. A separate dining area connects with the fitted kitchen, which has built-in cooking appliances and fitted storage, while a cloakroom completes this level.
Three double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor. The loft conversion provides two further double bedrooms and a shower room, with natural light from roof windows and a Juliet balcony. Outside, the property has a lawn and patio garden, side access, a garage, shed and off-street parking. The side plot may offer scope to extend, subject to planning permission; feasibility would need to be checked.
The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac in Beckenham, within walking distance of Clock House and Kent House stations, local shops, parks and a number of schools. Tram and bus services are also nearby.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a spacious five-bedroom, three-storey family home with a lot already working in its favour: a generous through reception, a loft conversion, and a maintained garden with patio, garage and parking. The kitchen and first-floor bathroom have dated but usable finishes, offering a light cosmetic update rather than a major overhaul; the loft shower room appears more recently finished. The side plot may also offer scope to extend, subject to planning permission.
The asking price is £895,000, or £574/sq ft, around 5% above the local average of £547/sq ft, so price is a limitation rather than a value advantage. With the renovation midpoint included, purchase and refurb costs look tight against local benchmarks. A strong family layout and scope to personalise remain appealing, but the numbers make this a weaker overall opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated, functional kitchen and first-floor bathroom with cosmetic improvements.
- Make the most of the generous side plot, garden, garage and parking; extension scope is subject to planning permission.
- Personalise the spacious through reception and five-bedroom, three-storey layout while retaining the existing loft conversion and shower room.
