Description
This chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house occupies a corner plot and offers scope for modernisation. The ground floor includes a porch, entrance hall and a spacious living room with a box bay window, leading through to a kitchen diner. The kitchen is dated and would benefit from updating. An extension at the rear provides a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, described as two doubles and a smaller third double. Outside, the rear garden combines paving and lawn. A large block-paved driveway provides parking and access to a double garage and a separate single garage. Gas central heating and double glazing are stated. The listing also notes potential for further extension, subject to the necessary permissions and regulations; feasibility would need to be checked.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This three-bedroom semi has a clear modernisation canvas: the kitchen and bathroom have dated finishes, while worn carpets and older timber details offer scope to refresh the interior. The rooms shown look generally usable, and the generous corner plot, extensive driveway, double and single garages, and enclosed garden give the project some distinctive practical appeal. The listing also mentions possible further extension, subject to the necessary permissions and regulations.
The price is the main constraint. At £260,000, the asking price is already above the local £/sqf average; adding the stated £27,000–£48,000 refurbishment range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area. That comparison is with the current local average, not a forecast of the value after renovation, so the numbers call for careful budgeting despite the scope to improve the house.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom, then refresh the worn carpets and older interior finishes.
- Make use of the generous corner plot, enclosed garden, large driveway, double garage and separate single garage.
- Explore the stated potential for further extension, subject to planning permission and building regulations.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding the £27,000–£48,000 refurbishment range puts purchase-plus-works costs above the local average benchmark for this floor area; this is not a post-renovation value forecast.
