Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in the desirable village of Longborough presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to create their dream home. With an asking price of £280,000, the property is priced significantly below the local average at £317/sqf, which is 22.8% less than the local £/sqf of £411. This affordability allows for creative renovations and personalization, making it an attractive prospect for those wanting to invest in a substantial refurbishment project.

While the property shows signs of wear throughout, particularly in the living spaces, bedrooms, and kitchen, this presents a blank canvas for buyers to enhance the home's character and layout. The garden is in reasonable condition and offers a pleasant outdoor space with beautiful countryside views, further adding to the appeal. However, potential buyers should be aware of the significant refurbishment needed, as the all-in costs of around £380,000 may feel tight against local benchmarks, making it essential to plan the renovation budget carefully.

Key opportunities

  • Opportunity to modernize and personalize the interior to suit individual tastes.
  • The layout allows for reconfiguration, potentially enhancing space and flow.
  • A good-sized rear garden with countryside views offers outdoor entertainment potential.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £80,000–£120,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
