Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge is offered through a transparent online auction, with bidding subject to the auctioneer’s terms. The ground floor has two reception rooms, including an open-plan lounge with patio doors to the rear, and a separate galley-style kitchen with fitted storage and space for appliances. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower. The property is freehold and has an EPC rating of C and Council Tax Band C. The accommodation is neutrally decorated and the listing notes that modernisation would allow a buyer to update it to their requirements. Outside, the rear garden has a patio, lawn and an outbuilding. Cambridge’s shops, cafés, green spaces and transport links are accessible across the city, with rail services from Cambridge and Cambridge North and road connections via the A14 and M11. Buyers should review the auction conditions and additional fees before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a light, cosmetic project rather than a major refurbishment: the two reception rooms are spacious, and the dated finishes across the kitchen, bathroom and living areas offer scope to refresh the home to your taste. The usable patio-and-lawn garden is another asset, with some weathered fencing to keep an eye on. The indicated works are around £5,000–£15,000.

At 51/100, this is a weaker overall opportunity, but not because the price has been shown to be dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The £290,000 figure is a starting guide for online bidding; bids can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and reception finishes as a focused cosmetic project.
  • Make use of the two separate reception rooms for living, dining or home-office space.
  • Build on the patio-and-lawn garden with routine fencing upkeep and simple improvements.
