52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a usable three-bedroom semi with generous reception and dining space, a mature garden, a rear balcony and a substantial outbuilding. The dated but generally serviceable finishes offer a clear light-modernisation canvas, with scope to refresh the interiors and selectively manage the garden. The location and family-friendly layout are strong points, though any extension potential remains subject to planning.

All-in costs deserve a mention: the asking price is reasonable enough, yet £13,000 of quoted works still lifts all-in spend towards £1,013,000 — around 7% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. Enough to keep renovation economics in the "could be tighter" band.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated wall coverings, flooring and fittings across the reception and bedroom spaces.
  • Make the most of the spacious reception and dining areas, bay window and principal bedroom balcony.
  • Improve the mature garden through selective planting work and explore the substantial outbuilding’s potential, subject to inspection and any required consents.

Key risks

  • The raised rear terrace and outbuilding need closer inspection to establish their condition.
