Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to undertake a full refurbishment project. The property is a blank canvas, allowing potential owners to modernise and tailor the space to their own specifications. The ground floor features an entrance hall leading into an open-plan kitchen and dining area, while the first floor comprises three bedrooms and a family bathroom. An external garage adds practicality to the property. There is also potential for loft conversion, subject to necessary surveys and permissions, which could enhance the living space further. The property requires renovation throughout, making it ideal for investors, developers, or owner-occupiers eager to add value. Located in Northwich, the property benefits from access to a variety of amenities, including independent shops, cafés, and leisure facilities at Barons Quay. This home is sold as seen and is currently vacant.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi in Northwich is a full refurbishment canvas, with scope to refresh the dated finishes and flooring throughout and reshape the open-plan kitchen/dining area to suit a buyer’s plans. The external garage, modest lawn and paved garden add useful features, while the main roof and brick frontage appear broadly intact. The bathroom stands out as a more involved part of the project, with prominent wall cracking and exposed floorboards that need investigation; the outbuilding roof also looks weathered.

At a £79,000 guide price, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The score is a weak overall opportunity, with the missing area data limiting assessment rather than establishing that the property is overpriced; the £22,000–£42,000 works range gives a sense of the renovation scale.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the dated finishes and worn flooring across the photographed rooms to create a consistent, modern interior.
  • Update the open-plan kitchen/dining area and make the three-bedroom layout work to a buyer’s specification.
  • Improve the modest lawn and paved garden, with the external garage providing useful additional space.

Key risks

  • The £22,000–£42,000 works range and dated finishes across the photographed rooms make this a substantial refurbishment programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Prominent cracking beside the bathroom window and on the upper landing, together with exposed bathroom floorboards, need investigation.
  • The external outbuilding roof appears weathered and may require attention.
