Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with no onward chain and is described as requiring updating and improvement. It offers scope for a purchaser to modernise the existing accommodation, with the listing also noting potential for an extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. A planning application for a part double-storey side and rear extension and part single-storey extension is referenced, but its decision status is not provided. The property is within reach of local shops, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities. Slough town centre and its Elizabeth line and GWR station are around 2 km away, with road links to the M4 and M40 also accessible. Windsor and Maidenhead are within reach. The listing reports excellent 4G and 5G mobile coverage.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a low-scoring opportunity overall (49/100, grade E), though the location and family-home fundamentals give the project a useful starting point. The £9,000–£18,000 works range points to a mainly cosmetic refresh: dated finishes across the living areas and bedrooms, an older kitchen and bathroom, visible wall and ceiling damage in one room, and a garden that would benefit from attention. The brick exterior and pitched roof look broadly intact in the available views.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated finishes across the usable living areas and bedrooms, and investigate and make good the visibly damaged or unfinished wall and ceiling surfaces.
  • Update the functional but dated kitchen and bathroom as part of a targeted cosmetic improvement.
  • Tidy the rear garden and fencing; the listing also mentions extension potential, subject to the usual permissions and consents.

Key risks

  • Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sq ft cannot be judged yet.
