Description

This three or four bedroom semi-detached house occupies a generous plot with gardens to the rear and side. The accommodation can be arranged as either three or four bedrooms, depending on requirements, and the property is described as needing modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update it to suit their plans. Outside, there is a driveway and garage, currently used for storage. The size of the side and rear plots may offer scope for landscaping or extending, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. Local shops, schools and other amenities are nearby, with access to the M6 and Preston city centre. The property is freehold; the EPC rating is to be confirmed.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £160,000, this is a 53/100, grade D opportunity: the score is held back in part because the floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The visible work is mainly dated decoration and flooring across several rooms, with an older-style kitchen and a garden that would benefit from clearance and landscaping; the photographed shower room looks more recently updated. The estimated renovation range of £9,000–£22,000 gives a sense of the project’s scale, while the large side and rear gardens, driveway and attached garage provide useful scope for a buyer to shape the property to their needs.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated wallpaper, carpets and finishes across several rooms to create a more cohesive family home.
  • Clear and landscape the substantial side and rear gardens, making use of the established planting, decked area and greenhouse.
  • Explore the stated potential to reconfigure or extend the property, subject to planning permissions and consents.

Key risks

  • A watercourse runs beside the garden; boundaries and any associated risks are not established in the available information.
