Description

Mount Pleasant House is a substantial period residence dating from around 1810, offered with no onward chain. The five-bedroom property has approximately 3,048 sq ft in the main house, with the total rising to about 3,623 sq ft when the garage and workshop are included. It requires modernisation and improvement, while retaining features such as high ceilings, period fireplaces, decorative joinery and a traditional staircase. The ground floor has four reception rooms, alongside a kitchen, separate utility room and additional WC facilities. The kitchen and utility areas are described as needing comprehensive updating. A cellar provides further storage and possible ancillary space. Upstairs, five bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom with a bath, separate shower, WC, bidet and wash basin. The house occupies a substantial plot with a large lawn and mature trees. Separate vehicle access leads to a rear courtyard and hardstanding, with parking and a detached garage and workshop complex. The outbuildings include an inspection pit, stable block and second floor, and are also in need of renovation. Alternative uses or redevelopment would depend on the necessary planning permissions and consents.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Mount Pleasant House offers a rare period canvas: its generous reception rooms, fireplaces, bay windows and traditional detailing give a renovation plenty to work with, while the substantial garden, courtyard and garage/workshop add scope beyond the main house. The £550,000 asking price is about £152 per sq ft, 43% below the local average, making the acquisition price a clear strength. The £65,000–£115,000 renovation range signals a substantial project, with the kitchen and bathroom among the areas that could be comprehensively updated.

Key opportunities

  • Restore the spacious reception rooms around their fireplaces, bay windows and period proportions to create a distinctive family home.
  • Rework the dated kitchen and bathroom as part of a comprehensive interior update.
  • Improve the large garden and courtyard, and explore the garage/workshop’s potential use after inspecting its condition.

Key risks

  • The £65,000–£115,000 works range, damaged wall finishes in a reception room, worn finishes across several rooms, and attention needed to the garden and outbuildings make this a substantial budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; inspect the roof and outbuildings as their condition is not established.
