46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a clean, usable home with a clear light-modernisation canvas: dated colours, textured finishes and flooring can be refreshed, while the spacious connected living and dining areas, stone fireplace feature and usable kitchen give buyers a sound starting point. The shower room already looks more contemporary, and the driveway, attached garage and south-facing garden add practical appeal in a quiet cul-de-sac setting.

The price is the constraint: at £151 per sq ft, the asking price is above the local average of £140, and purchase plus the midpoint refurb cost looks tight against local benchmarks. With a light works budget of £6,000–£13,000, this may suit someone who values the layout and setting and can improve it efficiently, but the numbers do not currently point to a strong-value project.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated colours, textured finishes and flooring to give the spacious living and dining areas a more contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the connected living and dining layout, with patio doors opening onto the south-facing garden.
  • Retain the practical advantages of the driveway, attached garage and separate utility room while improving the garden planting and boundaries.
