Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered to cash buyers and requires refurbishment. The accommodation includes a lounge, study, dining room, kitchen, utility room and ground-floor WC, with three double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. A basement provides additional storage space.
Outside, there is a small enclosed front courtyard, a concrete driveway with space for at least four vehicles, and a lawned rear garden with mature trees. The property is freehold and has mains water, gas, electricity and drainage. The seller reports visible cracking to the rear extension and believes it may relate to subsidence; no survey has established the cause. Buyers should make their own investigations into the condition and likely repair requirements.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This three-bedroom semi has a useful canvas for a buyer wanting to reshape and refresh a substantial family home: the floor plan shows several reception spaces, while the side driveway and generous rear garden add practical scope. The dated kitchen, worn floorboards and overgrown garden offer visible improvement projects; the lounge also retains a bay window and period-style detailing. The cracking reported to the rear extension, with a possible subsidence cause, needs investigation before the repair scope is clear.
The score is 47/100 (grade E), reflecting limited condition scoring and value that cannot yet be judged rather than a conclusion that the asking price is dear. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be assessed. The £12,000–£25,000 renovation range gives an initial scale for the works, but the extension concern could affect the eventual programme and budget.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen finishes and worn bedroom floorboards to give the home a more cohesive, updated interior.
- Use the several reception spaces shown on the floor plan to create a layout suited to family living, work or entertaining.
- Clear and landscape the generous rear garden to reveal its usable space and make the outdoor area more inviting.
Key risks
- The £12,000–£25,000 works range, garden clearance and investigation of the rear-extension cracking make this a planned improvement programme rather than a quick cosmetic refresh; the repair scope and timeline may change once the cause is established.
- The listing reports cracking to the rear extension and raises possible subsidence; the cause is unconfirmed and should be investigated before repair costs are settled.
