Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £170,000, this is attractively priced at £167 per sq ft, around 21% below the local average—a clear acquisition opportunity for someone ready to take on the work. The dated finishes across several rooms, old kitchen and shower room, and worn floors give scope to refresh the interiors, while the original parquet offers character to retain and restore.
The three-bedroom layout includes separate reception rooms, and the bay windows, elevated outlook, driveway, garage and lawned gardens add to the appeal. The £35,000–£60,000 renovation range makes this a substantial project; at the midpoint, the purchase plus works is close to the implied local average value, before fees, so the value will depend on managing the project and the finished result.
Key opportunities
- Restore the original parquet in the hall and reception rooms, pairing this character feature with refreshed decoration and flooring.
- Rework the dated kitchen and shower room finishes, with scope to improve the practical ground-floor layout around the separate reception rooms.
- Make the most of the elevated outlook, bay windows, driveway, garage and front and rear lawns, with scope to tidy and improve the garden areas.
Key risks
- The £35,000–£60,000 works range, covering dated finishes across multiple rooms and updates to the kitchen, shower room and floors, makes this a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; budget and timings will need close control.
