Description

This two-bedroom mid-terrace house, with an additional attic room, presents a promising opportunity for renovation in a semi-rural setting.

Inside, the layout includes a reception room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, complemented by the attic room on the second floor. The house is currently vacant, allowing for immediate occupancy upon completion of any necessary works. Located in Pica, just 5.5 miles south of Workington, it is well-positioned for access to local amenities and the recreational offerings of the Lake District National Park. Offered at auction, this property is ideal for investors or first-time buyers seeking a project to transform into a comfortable home.

Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Pica presents a significant renovation project for those looking to create a personalized space. While the property shows visible signs of neglect, including peeling paint in the living room and dated fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom, this offers a canvas for potential buyers to modernize and enhance the home's character. The additional attic room and enclosed rear yard also provide opportunities for expanding living space or outdoor enjoyment, making it suitable for various layouts.

Located in a semi-rural area with pleasant country views, the property holds promise for those willing to invest in its transformation. However, it’s important to note that the overall condition is poor, and significant refurbishment is required throughout. The asking price of £25,000 puts it at a neutral value, as no floor area is provided to assess £/sqf compared to local averages. This could mean potential buyers can secure a property at a reasonable entry point, but be prepared for a full-gut programme as you embark on this project.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the outdated kitchen and bathroom with modern fittings to enhance functionality and style.
  • Utilize the additional attic room for extra living space, potentially creating a home office or guest bedroom.
  • Redesign the enclosed rear yard to create an appealing outdoor area for relaxation and entertainment.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £50,000–£100,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Visible signs of neglect and potential damp patches on the exterior require careful assessment and attention.
