Description

This charming stone-built terraced house is situated in a desirable residential area of Marsh, Huddersfield, just a short walk from local amenities and the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. The property features one spacious double bedroom along with an additional box room, providing versatile living space on the ground floor. While the home requires modernisation, it offers significant potential to enhance its value, particularly by utilising the cellar for extra living space and converting the box room into a home office or study. The property also includes outdoor space, valuable parking, and a garage. Conveniently located at the end of a quiet residential street, this property is near the expansive Greenhead Park and is only a brief drive from the M62, providing easy access to Leeds, Manchester, and Huddersfield town centre, which is just two miles away. Upon entering, you will find a breakfast kitchen equipped with some base units, a gas oven and hob, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for dining. The kitchen leads to a small lobby with stairs to the first floor and access to a well-lit lounge that overlooks the rear garden. The lounge features a fireplace with a gas fire, creating a cozy atmosphere. On the first floor, there is a generously sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a smaller room that could serve as an ideal study or dressing area. The bathroom includes a bath, WC, and hand basin, all of which would benefit from updating. Externally, the property has a paved front area with steps leading to the front door, while the rear boasts a low-maintenance garden that is currently flagged. A detached garage and parking space are accessible via the rear lane. The property is connected to mains water, gas, electricity, and sewers, and features UPVC windows and doors. It carries a Council Tax band of A. Please note that the property currently has an EPC rating of F, which may limit mortgage options for buy-to-let investors. Buyers should verify their lending requirements before proceeding. Additionally, it is important to mention that the garage roof may contain asbestos-containing materials, and prospective purchasers are advised to conduct their own inquiries regarding its condition.

34out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This attractive stone through terrace in Marsh, Huddersfield, presents a decent opportunity for those looking to invest in a property that requires modernisation. The location is a strong point, with amenities and Greenhead Park within walking distance, and good transport links to nearby cities. The property features a good-sized living area, a double bedroom, and a box room that could serve as a home office, alongside a manageable garden and a detached garage.

However, the asking price of £125,000 translates to £190/sqf, which is 12.3% above the local average of £169/sqf. Coupled with renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, the all-in costs exceed local benchmarks, with a significant gap between the purchase and implied current market value. This indicates that while there is potential in the project, the economics are quite stretched, making it a riskier investment. Buyers should also note the potential asbestos in the garage roof, which may add to renovation concerns.

Key opportunities

  • Opportunity to modernise and utilise the cellar for additional living space.
  • Potential to convert the box room into a functional home office or study.
  • The detached garage and parking space add value and convenience.

Key risks

  • All-in costs are stretched compared to local market values, raising concerns about profitability.
  • Potential asbestos-containing materials in the garage roof may complicate renovations.
