Description

This charming semi-detached house has been cherished for nearly 60 years and is now ready for new owners to make it their own. The spacious living room offers versatile options, whether as a family room, playroom, or home office, catering to various lifestyle needs. Adjacent to this is a bright dining room, perfect for family gatherings or entertaining guests. The well-positioned kitchen at the rear provides access to the garden and presents excellent opportunities for enlargement and modernisation, with potential for an extension subject to necessary planning permissions. A generous conservatory adds valuable space and could be integrated into the main accommodation or transformed into a practical utility area with the right alterations. Upstairs, the property features three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a comfortable principal bedroom and two additional rooms that can accommodate children, guests, or serve as a home office. A family bathroom completes this level. Externally, the large south-facing rear garden is a standout feature, offering ample outdoor space for family activities and entertaining while also presenting significant landscaping potential. A brick-built garage adds practical storage solutions, and the overall plot offers further scope for enhancement or extension, pending planning consents. Conveniently located near transport links and local amenities, this property is well-suited for family life. Offered at auction.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This semi-detached house presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to acquire a property below the local average price per square foot. At an asking price of £350,000, the cost stands at £307/sqf, which is 12.4% cheaper than the local average. This pricing affords a margin for improvement, particularly in the dated interiors that include a living area and kitchen needing modernisation.

The spacious south-facing garden is a standout feature, providing ample scope for landscaping or further enhancements. The property's potential for extension, especially in the kitchen area, opens up exciting possibilities for creating a contemporary family space. While the house does show signs of aging and could benefit from a moderate refurbishment estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, the overall fundamentals and location are solid, making this a worthwhile project for the right buyer.

Key opportunities

  • Large south-facing garden with potential for landscaping and improvements
  • Scope to modernise the dated kitchen and enhance living spaces
  • Possibility for extensions subject to planning, allowing for a larger contemporary kitchen/dining area

Key risks

  • Moderate project scale requiring a budget of £40,000 to £80,000 for renovations
  • Signs of aging in living areas and bedrooms may require attention
  • Unverified heating system could pose future maintenance concerns
