Description

Offered via the Modern Method of Auction, this five-bedroom detached house sits on a plot stated to extend to approximately 0.51 acres. The listing presents the site as a potential redevelopment opportunity, with any future scheme dependent on obtaining the necessary planning permissions. It also states that there is no planning history or known Tree Preservation Orders, and refers to redevelopment in the surrounding area; purchasers should verify these details independently. The auction terms include completion within 56 days of draft contract issue, subject to the stated conditions, and a non-refundable reservation fee of 4% plus VAT in addition to the purchase price. Buyers must complete identity checks, provide proof of funds and undertake their own due diligence. A reserve price applies and may change. The property is marketed by A P Morgan in Shirley.

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £675,000, the asking price is 11% below the local average per square foot, making this a comparatively cheap acquisition for a substantial five-bedroom detached house. The 0.51-acre plot, multiple reception spaces and traditional timber detailing give the project a distinctive canvas, while the overgrown garden and neglected structures offer scope to reshape the outdoor space. Any development potential is subject to planning and site checks.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the substantial house and its multiple reception spaces into a more cohesive family home, retaining or complementing the visible traditional timber detailing.
  • Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes and update worn flooring and decoration to give the interiors a consistent, modern finish.
  • Clear and redesign the overgrown garden, making better use of the large plot, pond and existing outbuildings.

Key risks

  • The stripped-back scope across dated interiors, a poor-condition kitchen with damaged or missing ceiling panels, and a neglected garden points to a £55,000–£100,000 programme—not a cosmetic refresh; budget and timescales need careful planning.
