Description

This detached family home is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within a sought-after residential area, making it an ideal investment opportunity. The property is offered with no onward chain and features an entrance hall leading to a spacious lounge with a bay window, which flows into a contemporary kitchen equipped with modern appliances, including an integrated dishwasher and double oven. A utility room and a convenient downstairs W.C. enhance the practicality of the layout. Notably, the garage has been converted into a downstairs bedroom with an adjoining wet room, designed for accessibility. The first floor comprises four additional bedrooms, including a master suite with an en-suite shower room, along with a former bathroom space that presents potential for renovation. Outside, the property boasts a generous lawned garden and a double-width driveway at the front, alongside a spacious patio area at the rear. While the home requires cosmetic modernisation throughout, it offers significant scope for buyers looking to personalise their living space and increase value through improvements.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached five-bedroom home has a useful starting point: the contemporary fitted kitchen looks serviceable, most photographed rooms are clean and usable, and there’s a double-width driveway plus a lawn and spacious paved rear patio. The former bathroom has been stripped out, while some flooring and finishes need attention, giving a buyer a clear, manageable scope to personalise the house. The downstairs bedroom with adjoining wet room and the main bedroom’s en-suite add flexibility.

Key opportunities

  • Reinstate the stripped-out former bathroom and refresh the affected flooring and finishes.
  • Make the most of the five-bedroom layout, including the downstairs bedroom with adjoining wet room and the main bedroom’s en-suite.
  • Tidy the spacious rear patio and lawn, while retaining the usable contemporary kitchen and driveway.
