Description

The first-floor shower room includes a walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, while the landing has a storage cupboard and loft access. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, washing machine and dishwasher, with space for a fridge freezer and a door to the side of the house.
Outside, there are front and rear gardens, with the rear mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing. A detached outbuilding provides additional storage, and on-street parking is available. The property is described as offering scope for cosmetic improvement and personalisation.
Cookridge amenities, schools and transport links are nearby, including Horsforth railway station. The area also has access to the A660 and A6120, with shops and services in Horsforth and countryside within a short distance.
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 light, personalisation-led project with a spacious dual-aspect lounge, two usable double bedrooms, a private rear garden and a detached outbuilding. Older finishes offer scope for redecoration and selective cosmetic updates, while clearing and tending the overgrown garden could make better use of the outdoor space. The shower room has visible marks, but no obvious major structural or roof issue is apparent in the photos.
At £220,000, the asking price works out at about £310/sq ft, around 3.7% below the local average, which is a reasonable starting point for a WHOTS project. The overall score is still a weaker 54/100: the modest £6,000–£14,000 works range leaves little headroom against the implied current local average value, so the opportunity rests more on the house’s usable layout and scope to personalise than on an obvious bargain margin.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the textured walls and older décor in the lounge and both bedrooms.
- Clear and maintain the rear garden to bring its outdoor space back into use.
- Personalise the usable kitchen and shower room, with the detached outbuilding adding useful flexibility.
