Description

This three-bedroom conversion is arranged across three floors and combines stonework, exposed beams and timber finishes with a multi-level layout. The ground floor has an entrance hall, living room, bedroom and bathroom. French doors from both the living room and bedroom open onto the rear patio garden, which is arranged in levelled gravel areas and can be adapted to suit a purchaser's plans. On the first floor, an open-plan living and kitchen space includes a stove set within a chimney breast, exposed beams and French doors leading to a small balcony. A further set of doors opens onto the roof above the ground-floor bedroom; this area is not currently suitable for use as an outdoor space and requires remedial roof work. A spiral staircase leads to the upper floor, where two bedrooms share a balcony and one has an ensuite bathroom. The property is offered as a renovation project. The listing identifies roof remedial work and work to the ground-floor bedroom, where visible damp is noted. Mains electricity, water and drainage are stated, along with oil-fired central heating. The EPC rating is F. The layout, existing character features and off-road parking provide a starting point for improvement, subject to assessing the required repairs and modernisation.

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 three-bedroom conversion has plenty of character to work with: exposed beams, stonework, timber floors, fireplaces and French doors opening to balconies and the patio give it a distinctive starting point. The kitchen and bathrooms are dated, while the ground-floor bedroom has prominent staining and deterioration; the listing also calls for remedial roof work above it. That creates a clear project to investigate and improve, with the patio and outdoor areas offering scope for personalisation too.

The overall opportunity is graded D, with the project’s condition limiting the score despite good location and fundamentals. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the £200,000 asking price alone is not enough to assess whether it represents good value. The £12,000–£30,000 renovation range indicates a more involved job than a cosmetic refresh, particularly given the roof and affected bedroom, so the repair scope should be established before budgeting.

Key opportunities

  • Retain and bring out the exposed beams, stonework, timber floors and fireplace features across the three-storey conversion.
  • Modernise the dated kitchen and bathrooms while refreshing the interior to create a more cohesive finish.
  • Make better use of the French-door connections to the patio and balconies, and personalise the levelled outdoor areas.

Key risks

  • The £12,000–£30,000 works range needs to cover investigation and repair of the roof above the ground-floor bedroom, followed by making good the stained and deteriorated surfaces; this is a repair-led programme, not just a cosmetic refresh.
  • Visible damp and surface deterioration in the ground-floor bedroom, alongside the stated roof defect, require inspection to establish the source and full repair scope.
