Description

Situated at the corner of Sedlescombe Road South and Windmill Road in St Leonards-on-Sea, this expansive three-storey semi-detached house offers six double bedrooms, three reception rooms, and three bathrooms. The property boasts a generous rear garden with gated side access and ample parking space for up to five cars. There is potential for additional structures such as a garage, workshop, or home office, subject to planning permission. Significant renovations have already been undertaken, including rewiring, replumbing, new windows, loft insulation, and renewed flat roofs. The majority of the house has been re-rendered, complemented by new barge boards on the south gable end. New joisting and floorboards have been installed in the kitchen ceiling, bathroom floor, both sitting rooms, dining room, and hallway, along with new floorboards in five of the bedrooms. Damp plaster has been removed and dry-lined in the bedroom and bathroom areas. However, a considerable renovation project remains, requiring further work and finishing throughout. This property presents a substantial opportunity for an experienced developer or someone accustomed to tackling large-scale renovations. With ample space to work with, this could transform into an impressive family home tailored to the new owner's vision.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This substantial semi-detached house offers a wealth of space and potential for a creative renovation. With six double bedrooms and multiple reception areas spread across three floors, there is ample opportunity to redesign the layout to suit modern living. The property benefits from a good-sized garden that could be transformed into an inviting outdoor space, while the recent updates to the windows and roofs provide a solid foundation to build upon.

However, the house does require extensive work throughout, with signs of damp and cluttered interiors indicating a significant refurbishment project ahead. The kitchen and bathroom are both in need of updates, and the general wear and dated condition present a clear canvas for someone with vision. With a guide price of £500,000, it remains difficult to assess its value against local £/sqf metrics due to missing floor area details, but the scale of the renovation needed suggests this is a heavy project suited for experienced developers or those willing to invest time and effort into transforming it into a remarkable home.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout allows for creative redesign and potential reconfiguration of rooms to enhance usability.
  • Good-sized garden offers opportunities for landscaping and outdoor living enhancements.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh; damp issues present additional challenges.
