Description

This spacious five-bedroom terraced house on Westbury Road presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to create their ideal family home. Spread over four floors, the property is ideally situated within walking distance of the town center and Watford Hospital, making it a convenient location for families and professionals alike. While it currently operates as letting rooms, it will soon be available for vacant possession, allowing for a chain-free purchase. Upon entering, you are greeted by a hallway that leads to two separate reception rooms, as well as stairs to both the basement and first floor. The main kitchen connects to an antechamber hallway with access to a bathroom, a WC, and a room currently used as a bedroom, which features its own bathroom—ideal for potential annex conversion. Additionally, a second kitchen space includes a storage/utility area. The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a bathroom, with another bedroom located on the second floor. The property also benefits from a small courtyard garden at the rear. This home requires updating but offers ample scope for reconfiguration to suit your personal style and needs. Don’t miss out on this exciting project to make it your own.

79out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £520,000, this five-bedroom, four-floor terrace is priced at £313 per sq ft, well below the local average of £481 per sq ft—a strong acquisition point for a buyer looking to add value. The dated rooms and older kitchen fittings give the project a clear scope for cosmetic updating, while the listing describes two reception rooms, multiple kitchens and a letting-room layout that could offer options for reconfiguration, subject to feasibility.

The visible frontage appears broadly intact, and several rooms look usable. There is conspicuous wall staining in one bedroom to investigate and make good; overall, this is a substantial but manageable improvement project, with the supplied renovation range of £30,000–£60,000 indicating its scale.

Key opportunities

  • Update the dated finishes and older kitchen fittings to give the house a more cohesive feel.
  • Explore reconfiguration of the existing letting-room arrangement, including the separate kitchen areas and the space described as a possible annexe, subject to feasibility.
  • Acquire 1,659 sq ft at £313 per sq ft, below the local average of £481 per sq ft.

Key risks

  • Investigate the conspicuous wall staining in a bedroom and allow for any required making-good.
  • Budget and programme for a four-floor, five-bedroom project, with the supplied renovation range of £30,000–£60,000.
