Description
This two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Huncote has two reception rooms, a galley kitchen and a first-floor bathroom. The ground floor includes a front living room and a separate dining room with an opening to the kitchen.

Period details include feature fireplaces, a ceiling rose, coving and picture rails. The listing also states that the property has uPVC double glazing and gas central heating. It is offered with no upward chain and is described as needing updating, giving a buyer scope to refresh the existing accommodation.
Outside, there is a raised front garden and a very long rear garden, with an outside toilet. The home is freehold and has a stated internal area of approximately 70 square metres. The advertised accommodation and garden provide a basis for considering improvement, subject to inspection and verification of the property details.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This Victorian terrace has a clear, manageable update project: the older finishes are usable, while the period fireplaces and decorative details give the two reception rooms character to build on. The long rear garden is a standout feature, with scope to tidy and landscape it. The renovation range is £7,000–£16,000, but the floor area is missing from the valuation data, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The overall score is 49/100, grade E: there is a worthwhile canvas here, but the numbers do not establish a strong overall opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated reception-room finishes while retaining the visible fireplaces and decorative detailing.
- Landscape the long rear garden, improving the overgrown edges, uneven lawn and worn paving.
- Update the older kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a light, targeted improvement project.
