49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a medium-scale modernisation project with a useful canvas: a spacious lounge-diner, a separate dining room that could serve as an office or ground-floor bedroom, fitted wardrobes, driveway parking and an attached garage. Updating the dated finishes, refreshing the kitchen and coloured bathroom suite, and reclaiming the overgrown terraced garden offer clear ways to reshape the home. The listing also notes that the oil-fired boiler is not functioning, so that should be included in the project plan.
The score is 49/100 (E), with the main limitation being that value against local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. The £40,000–£70,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved; the available exterior views show the house and roof broadly intact, though weathering and staining warrant closer inspection.
Key opportunities
- Rework the separate dining room as an office, hobby room or potential ground-floor bedroom, alongside the generous lounge-diner.
- Modernise the dated kitchen and distinctive coloured bathroom suite, with scope to refresh finishes and flooring in several rooms.
- Clear and relandscape the terraced rear garden, where existing paving and hard landscaping are partly obscured by overgrowth.
Key risks
- The oil-fired boiler is stated to be non-functioning and will need attention.
- Exterior surfaces show weathering and staining, while the driveway has moss and wear; inspect these more closely.
