Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house is set on a corner plot and is offered for sale with no onward chain. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, lounge, fitted kitchen and separate WC, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.
Gardens extend to the front, rear and side, providing outdoor space around the property. The house would benefit from modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update the existing accommodation to suit their requirements.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
The corner plot and gardens to the front, side and rear give this three-bedroom semi a useful canvas, while the photographed rooms look usable and the roof and exterior appear generally intact. The dated lounge panelling and finishes, older kitchen and bathroom, and untidy rear garden offer scope to refresh the house and make the outdoor space more inviting.
The asking price is £229/sq ft, above the local average of £209/sq ft, so price is not a value advantage here. With the £7,000–£15,000 refurb range, the asking price plus renovation leaves costs stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of the value after works. Overall, this is a modest project with good fundamentals, but the numbers limit its opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated lounge panelling, wallpaper and fittings while retaining the serviceable-looking flooring.
- Update the older kitchen and bathroom finishes to suit a buyer’s taste.
- Tidy and improve the sizeable rear garden, with front and side gardens adding outdoor space.
Key risks
- The asking price plus the £7,000–£15,000 refurbishment range looks stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area, limiting the financial headroom.
- Total commitment could reach about £191,000 including the asking price and quoted works of about £11,000 — around 14% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
