Description

This detached stone-built house presents an exceptional opportunity for redevelopment, requiring a comprehensive renovation and redesign, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Set within a generous plot of 0.91 acres, the property boasts stunning rural views. Currently, the layout includes two downstairs rooms and three upstairs rooms, along with additional storerooms, a bathroom, and two garages. However, it is anticipated that the next owner will undertake a complete redesign of the space. Properties of this nature and in this location are rare on the open market, making an early viewing essential to fully appreciate the potential.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached house offers an extensive renovation project on a generous 0.91-acre plot, providing a canvas for those looking to redesign and redevelop. While the property stands out due to its potential for redevelopment and stunning rural views, the current condition is poor with extensive damage and neglect visible throughout. Each room shows signs of wear, and both the kitchen and bathroom will require full refurbishment. The living areas, bedrooms, and garden also need significant attention, making this a substantial undertaking for any buyer.

However, the asking price of £400,000 is notably above the local average of £254/sqf, which raises concerns about value. With renovation costs estimated between £150,000 and £300,000, the overall investment would stretch well beyond local benchmarks, resulting in a negative margin compared to the implied current value. While the large plot size and potential for redevelopment are appealing, prospective buyers should carefully consider the financial implications before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Large plot size allows for potential redevelopment or redesign.
  • Stunning rural views that can enhance the property's appeal once renovated.
  • Scope to create a bespoke living space tailored to personal preferences.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £150,000–£300,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Budget around £625,000 including the asking price and quoted works of about £225,000 — roughly 46% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
