Description

This two-bedroom detached house presents a significant development opportunity in a desirable location with an open aspect. The property is in need of full refurbishment but comes with the advantage of granted planning permission to transform it into a five-bedroom residence (Planning REF: 2025/62/92871/E). The accommodation includes a useful store cellar, a front entrance porch, an inner entrance hall, a spacious lounge, a kitchen, a dining room or second reception room, and a ground floor bathroom. The first floor features a master bedroom with a walk-in study and an additional double bedroom. Externally, the property boasts a front garden, a side driveway leading to a detached garage, and a large rear garden with two external stores. Offered at a realistic asking price with vacant possession and no chain, this property is ideally suited for cash buyers looking to capitalize on its potential.

Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom detached house presents a significant renovation opportunity in a desirable location. While the property shows visible damage and neglect throughout, including poor conditions in the living areas, kitchen, and garden, it offers a blank canvas for a transformative project. The granted planning permission to convert it into a five-bedroom home enhances its potential, allowing for a spacious family residence or a lucrative investment.

The asking price of £200,000 is a reasonable entry point for this project, particularly as the missing floor area means we can't yet assess its value against local £/sqf averages. However, it's important to note that extensive refurbishment will be required, with renovation costs estimated between £100,000 and £200,000. This could be an appealing venture for cash buyers willing to take on the challenge of revitalizing a property with significant potential.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the space into a five-bedroom family home with planning permission already in place.
  • Revitalize the overgrown garden to create an attractive outdoor area.
  • Enhance the living areas and kitchen to modernize the property and increase its appeal.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget indicate this is a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
