Description

Located in the residential area of South Moor, this three-bedroom terraced house presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, families, or investors seeking a property with potential. The home is conveniently situated near local amenities, including schools, shops, and regular bus services, ensuring easy access to the surrounding areas. Upon entry, you are greeted by a welcoming lounge that offers a comfortable space for relaxation and entertaining. The spacious dining room is ideal for family meals or social gatherings, while the adjoining kitchen, equipped with a range of wall and base units, provides ample scope for modernization and personal touches. The first floor features three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for families, guests, or those working from home. A family bathroom completes this level, featuring a bath, wash hand basin, and WC. Externally, the property boasts a private rear yard that offers potential for creating an inviting outdoor seating or entertaining area. Additionally, there is a brick-built outbuilding that provides useful storage.

With its generous living accommodation and three-bedroom layout, this property is well worth viewing.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom terrace has a useful two-reception layout, a separate kitchen and a rear yard with a brick-built outbuilding. Its dated finishes give a buyer a clear canvas: the kitchen and bathroom could be modernised, while redecoration and refreshed flooring would help bring the living spaces and bedrooms up to date. The hard-surfaced yard also has scope for a modest tidy-up and a more inviting seating area.

The WHOTS score is 55/100, a D: the project has practical appeal, but value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The indicated renovation range is £30,000–£55,000, so the scale and budget should be considered alongside the £50,000 asking price; the visible low-level wall deterioration is also worth checking at a viewing.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen, with scope to replace the older units and worn-looking worktops.
  • Refresh the two reception rooms and bedrooms through redecoration and flooring updates.
  • Tidy the rear yard and make better use of the brick-built outbuilding for storage.

Key risks

  • The £30,000–£55,000 renovation range leaves a substantial budget and programme to plan around.
  • Local low-level wall deterioration is visible; its cause and extent should be checked.
