Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This exceptional five-bedroom semi-detached family home presents a strong opportunity for buyers looking to acquire a property with substantial development potential. Priced at £650,000, the asking price is notably cheap at £186/sqf compared to the local average of £446/sqf, making it a compelling investment. With an all-in cost of £725,000 against an implied local average value of £1,560,475, there's a significant margin to be realized upon renovation.

The property features spacious living areas, a modern kitchen with ample space, and well-proportioned bedrooms, all of which are in good condition. The generous outdoor space includes a 100 m² garden and an additional 3,500 sq ft of land with planning permission granted for a 68 m² outbuilding, which could further enhance the property’s value. While the renovation will require an investment of between £50,000 and £100,000, the existing condition is favorable, allowing for a medium-scale project that can be tailored to personal taste and functionality.
