Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom freehold terraced house is in Appleby, within reach of local amenities, the railway station and the A66. The property is offered with no onward chain and has an entrance porch with access to a coal shed and external store. The hall includes a fitted cupboard and leads to the living room and kitchen; a stairlift is fitted at the foot of the stairs. The kitchen has a freestanding cooker with gas hob, oven and grill, worktop space, base units and a stainless-steel sink. There is plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge-freezer. The adjoining living room has an open fireplace and sliding doors to the rear garden. A separate ground-floor WC is also provided. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a family bathroom and a storage cupboard. The bathroom has a bath, WC and wash basin. The rear garden is arranged in two sections, with lawn, shrubs and planted borders, and a communal path between neighbouring gardens. The front garden is described as low maintenance. The listing notes a right of way for residents to reach their rear gardens and says local occupancy restrictions apply; buyers should verify these points, along with the stated boundary position, before proceeding. The property is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage, with solid-fuel heating. The sale is through an online bidding process, with the auction terms applying. The listing describes Appleby as having shops, schools, pubs and restaurants, with bus services and rail connections nearby.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a light-scale project with a clear, practical canvas: dated decoration and worn floor coverings can be refreshed, while the kitchen’s incomplete-looking unit fronts and exposed plumbing offer scope to repair or replace as needed. The spacious-looking living room, open fireplace and sliding doors to the established rear garden give the house some useful character to build on; the bathroom is also ready for a cosmetic update. The supplied photos show no obvious major roof or structural failure.

The score is a weak 50/100 overall, with good fundamentals and location but limited condition and price/value scores. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the £8,500–£17,000 renovation range gives an indication of the likely project scale.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated wallpaper and finishes, and replace worn floor coverings across the visible living and bedroom spaces.
  • Improve the kitchen by assessing whether the incomplete-looking fronts and exposed plumbing can be repaired or warrant replacement.
  • Make the spacious-looking living room, open fireplace and sliding doors to the established rear garden a focal point of the update.
