Description

This three-bedroom period townhouse is arranged over three floors on Alma Street, close to Leek town centre. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a long galley kitchen with an adjoining sunroom, and a family bathroom. Original details include a bay frontage, tiled hallway floor, cornicing, picture rails, deep skirting boards and cast iron fireplaces. There is also a loft room accessed by ladder, with a skylight; any conversion to a bedroom would be subject to the necessary permissions and building regulations. The property requires extensive modernisation, offering scope to refurbish the interiors while retaining and restoring period features. Outside, an enclosed rear yard provides paved space and planting. Leek’s independent shops, markets, cafés and other town-centre amenities are nearby, with attractions including Rudyard Lake, Tittesworth Water and The Roaches further afield.

Our WHOTS verdict

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

76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £160,000, this three-storey period townhouse is priced at about £122/sq ft, well below the local average of £232/sq ft — a strong opportunity to acquire a substantial project at a low entry price. Its bay frontage, Minton tiles, cornicing and fireplaces give the renovation a distinctive period canvas, while the generous accommodation and loft room offer scope to shape the space. The loft conversion is only potential and would be subject to permissions and regulations.

The works are substantial: several rooms show worn floors, marked or damaged finishes and localised staining, and the kitchen and green-tiled bathroom are ready for updating. The enclosed paved yard is usable but would benefit from clearance. The existing renovation range is £45,000–£85,000; the engine’s £225,000 purchase-plus-midpoint figure is not a GDV and excludes stamp duty and fees.

Key opportunities

  • Restore and rework the three-floor accommodation around the bay frontage, original Minton tiles, cornicing and period fireplaces.
  • The large galley kitchen and adjoining sunroom offer scope to create a more useful kitchen and informal dining space.
  • The loft room with skylight could potentially become additional accommodation, subject to permissions and regulations; the enclosed yard also offers scope for straightforward improvement.

Key risks

  • The worn floors, damaged and marked finishes across several rooms, and dated kitchen and bathroom make this a full-gut-scale programme; allow £45,000–£85,000 and plan the budget and timetable accordingly.
  • Localised staining and wall deterioration are visible, including below a bay window; the supplied views do not confirm the roof or wider fabric condition.
