Description

This three-bedroom 1930s mid-terrace house is set on a quiet crescent within walking distance of Rayners Lane shops and its Metropolitan and Piccadilly Line station. The chain-free property has a front reception room, a second reception overlooking the garden, and a separate kitchen. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a third bedroom and a family bathroom, with access to the loft from the landing. The house is described as requiring updating, offering scope to adapt the accommodation. The loft may offer potential for conversion to a principal bedroom with en-suite, and a rear extension may also be possible, subject to the relevant permissions and building regulations. Outside, there is a private driveway, a lawned rear garden with patio and a detached double garage. Newton Farm Infant and Junior School is also within a short walk.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £525,000, this three-bedroom 1930s terrace is priced at £433/sq ft, 17.8% below the local average—a clear opportunity to acquire below the local benchmark. The two reception rooms and bedrooms look usable but dated, while the worn kitchen and staining near the pipework give the renovation a clear starting point. The £35,000–£60,000 renovation range indicates a medium-scale project; the asking price plus its midpoint is £572,500, compared with an implied current local average of £638,663, before fees and stamp duty. That is a comparison with the current local average, not a projected renovated value.

Bay windows, a private driveway, rear garden and detached double garage add useful character and amenity. The listing also describes potential for a rear extension and loft conversion, subject to feasibility and consents. Staining is visible on the kitchen wall and ceiling, so its cause and extent merit checking; the roof condition cannot be reliably assessed from the photos.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at £433/sq ft, below the local average, with the asking price plus the renovation midpoint still below the implied current local average value.
  • Refresh the worn kitchen and dated decoration and flooring across the photographed rooms to personalise the two-reception layout.
  • Make use of the rear garden and detached double garage, while exploring the listing's stated extension and loft-conversion potential subject to feasibility and consents.

Key risks

  • Staining is visible on the kitchen wall and ceiling near pipework; investigate the cause and extent.
  • Roof condition cannot be assessed reliably from the available images.
