Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This large semi-detached house presents a significant renovation opportunity for those willing to take on a heavy project. The spacious layout offers potential for reconfiguration, with three to four bedrooms and two reception rooms that can be transformed to suit modern needs. Despite the extensive damage and neglect visible throughout the property, this blank canvas allows for creative designs and a chance to add considerable value through a complete refurbishment.

However, the current condition is a major consideration; the living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom all require comprehensive refurbishments, and the garden is overgrown and neglected. The exterior shows visible wear and damage, indicating that significant work is necessary to bring this property back to life. Stripped interiors and a £100,000 to £200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh. With a starting guide price of £90,000, this property may appeal to buyers looking for a project, but the eventual price could rise through bidding.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout offers potential for reconfiguration and modern living.
  • Transform multiple reception rooms and bedrooms to create a unique family home.
  • Opportunity to create a desirable outdoor space with reworking of the garden.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Severe damage and neglect throughout may lead to unforeseen costs during renovation.
  • Potential structural issues from extensive wear on the exterior and roof.
