Description

This four-bedroom semi-detached house, built around the 1930s, offers two reception rooms, a large kitchen and dining area, a basement and flexible ground-floor accommodation. The layout and plot provide scope to update the property and explore ways to make better use of its existing space. Any extension or other alteration would require feasibility checks and the relevant approvals. Outside, the rear garden includes a broad block-paved patio and lawn, while the front has a large paved driveway and a detached double garage. The listing describes the garden as wrapping around to the front driveway and notes the garage can provide parking or storage. The property is described as being within reach of local shops, schools, health facilities and parks, with Grays town centre and Lakeside also accessible. Bus services connect with Grays and Chafford Hundred stations, and the A13, A127 and M25 are nearby. The house is offered for private-treaty sale.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a spacious 1930s semi with a sizeable garden, broad patio, generous driveway and detached double garage—strong practical features for a family home. The interior is usable but dated across several areas, giving a buyer scope for a light cosmetic refresh; the kitchen and bathroom look serviceable, so a full replacement is an optional choice rather than an established necessity. The indicated renovation range is £8,000–£18,000.

The score is held back by gaps in the value assessment rather than a confirmed price concern: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged, and the available information does not establish residual value after works. The generous plot and flexible accommodation give the project appeal, but the expansion potential described in the listing is not verified.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated interior finishes and worn carpets through a light cosmetic project, with the option to retain serviceable fittings.
  • Make the most of the sizeable lawn and broad paved patio for family use and outdoor entertaining.
  • Use the flexible accommodation, extensive driveway and detached double garage to support varied family needs.
