73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £85,000, this two-bedroom stone-fronted terrace is priced at about £86 per sq ft, well below the local average of £180 per sq ft—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. The spacious kitchen-diner and good-sized bedrooms provide a useful canvas, while the street-facing exterior appears generally intact in the available view.

This is a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh: several rooms have worn or damaged finishes, the kitchen-diner has staining and ceiling damage, and the rear paved area needs clearing and improvement. The £35,000–£65,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved. The score is supported by the low asking price and strong economics, with the scale of the internal work the main consideration.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the spacious kitchen-diner into a more functional focal point for everyday living and entertaining.
  • Refresh the two good-sized bedrooms and living room to create a coherent, updated interior.
  • Clear and improve the rear paved area, including the overgrown planting and weathered boundary fencing.

Key risks

  • The £35,000–£65,000 works range and damaged finishes across several rooms point to a substantial programme, not a cosmetic refresh; allow for budget and time to address the kitchen-diner, bathroom, flooring and wider redecoration.
