Description

On the upper floors are five double bedrooms and a study, alongside the bathroom and shower room. The listing also notes an outdoor WC and outbuildings, with the garden WC in need of repair. Outside, there is a front garden with a magnolia tree and an enclosed rear garden with lawn, paved seating and mature shrubs. A private driveway provides off-road parking, and there is a garage with power and lighting. The listing identifies scope for alteration or extension, subject to the necessary permissions and consents. EPC rating D.

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £670,000, this substantial five-bedroom Victorian semi is priced at about £198 per sq ft, well below the local average of £282 — a strong acquisition point for a 3,391 sq ft home. The spacious reception rooms, period fireplaces, decorative ceilings, leaded glazing and timber floors give it plenty of character to build on, while the dated finishes make a light refresh an opportunity rather than a major overhaul. The fitted kitchen and bathroom appear usable, and the established garden adds to the appeal; the outside WC and older outbuildings offer scope for improvement.

The £7,000–£16,000 renovation range suggests a manageable project, with the listing also noting possible alteration or extension subject to permissions and consents. The calculated £681,500 purchase-plus-renovation midpoint is well below the implied local-average value, though that comparison is not a GDV or a guaranteed resale figure.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the widespread dated decoration while retaining the period fireplaces, decorative ceilings, leaded glazing and timber floors.
  • Make use of the generous five-bedroom accommodation, large reception rooms, basement storage, driveway and garage.
  • Improve the garden WC and older outbuildings; the listing also identifies potential for alteration or extension subject to permissions and consents.

Key risks

  • The garden WC is stated to need repair, and the purpose of the scaffolding visible in the images is not established.
