Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom semi-detached house offers a solid project opportunity on a large corner plot, perfect for those looking to create their dream home. While the interior shows signs of wear and dated decor throughout, there are numerous original features that add character. The kitchen is functional but could benefit from a modern update, and the garden areas are in need of maintenance, presenting a blank canvas for landscaping enthusiasts. Notably, the property boasts good extension potential, which could significantly enhance its value with the right planning and consents.

With a guide price of £220,000, the absence of specific floor area data means we can't assess the value against local £/sqf metrics just yet. However, the projected renovation costs range from £80,000 to £120,000, indicating a medium-scale refurbishment project ahead. Given the overall condition and the potential for significant improvements, this property could be a rewarding venture for the right buyer, particularly in this desirable residential area.

Key opportunities

  • Good extension potential subject to planning consent.
  • Original features that add character and charm.
  • Scope for a complete interior refurbishment to increase value.

Key risks
