Description

This five-bedroom detached house is set on a corner plot and offers spacious accommodation, driveway parking, a double garage and a large rear garden. The layout includes a central entrance hall with a feature staircase, a substantial living room with a fireplace and garden access, a separate dining room, a study, kitchen, utility room and ground-floor WC. Upstairs are five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a dressing room and private bathroom, together with further bathroom facilities. The house is described as requiring modernisation. Its existing room sizes and arrangement provide scope to update the interior, with the kitchen adjoining the dining room and offering the possibility of a larger kitchen and dining space, subject to necessary consents and structural considerations. Outside, the broad paved frontage provides extensive parking and access to the double garage, while the rear garden has a lawn, mature screening and a patio. Viewing is by appointment through Binks & Brown.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The standout here is the combination of five-bedroom proportions, a generous corner plot, extensive driveway parking and a double garage. The interiors look tidy and usable but dated, giving a buyer a clear light-modernisation canvas; the kitchen’s position beside the dining room also offers potential for a more open kitchen/dining space, subject to feasibility and any required consents or structural work. The sizeable garden, patio and mature screening add to the appeal.

The numbers are middling rather than compelling because works of around £12,000 on top of purchase push all-in figures towards £1,112,000 — around 13% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. Enough to keep renovation economics in the "could be tighter" band.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated interior finishes while retaining the generally tidy, usable rooms.
  • Explore the potential to create a larger kitchen/dining or family area from the kitchen and adjoining dining room, subject to feasibility and any required consents or structural work.
  • Make the most of the generous corner plot, large garden, extensive driveway parking and double garage.
