Description

This five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house, dating from around 1890, has accommodation over three floors, with two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room and ground-floor WC. The lounge has a bay window, while the separate dining room provides another reception space. The kitchen is described as generously sized and is accompanied by a separate utility area. Four bedrooms and the family bathroom are on the first floor, with a further bedroom on the second floor. A double garage provides storage and may offer other uses, subject to any required consents. The property has substantial proportions and a traditional layout, with scope for a buyer to modernise it to suit their requirements. Blundells, Chapeltown, notes an AML identity-check fee that is non-refundable once the checks have been completed.

Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial Victorian semi offers a lot of house to work with: five bedrooms over three floors, generous reception spaces, period detailing and a double garage. At £250,000, the asking price is about £109/sq ft against a local average of £188, making it a notably inexpensive entry point by that measure. The interiors are dated but appear serviceable, giving a buyer scope to update the kitchen and bathroom, refresh decoration and flooring, and make the home their own. The existing renovation range is £40,000–£70,000; the modelled midpoint puts purchase plus renovation at £305,000, compared with an implied local-average value of about £433,000. That comparison is not a GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.

Key opportunities

  • Update the dated kitchen and bathroom, then refresh finishes and flooring across the photographed rooms.
  • Make use of the generous three-floor layout, including the top-floor room with sloping ceilings and rooflight.
  • Retain the Victorian character while improving the established tiered garden; the double garage adds useful storage and flexibility.

Key risks

  • The steep, densely planted garden and tiered retaining walls may need selective clearance and ongoing upkeep.
  • Roof condition is not adequately shown in the photographs.
