Description

This freehold property on Walmer Road is currently arranged as two self-contained flats, with separate title plans and no forward chain. The accommodation is set over two floors and offers scope to retain the existing arrangement or consider a larger single home, subject to legal checks, permissions and compliance requirements. The ground floor has a front living room, kitchen, bathroom, a further room used as a bedroom, and a conservatory overlooking the rear garden. Upstairs, the second flat comprises a living room, kitchen/dining room, bathroom, bedroom and a separate study or dressing room. Outside, the rear garden is mainly paved. The property requires refurbishment and modernisation, so buyers should investigate the existing configuration, title arrangements and any consents needed before deciding how to use the space.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

79out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £180,000, this detached house is priced at about £164 per sq ft, well below the local average of £318—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to acquire and add value. It is currently arranged as two flats, with two kitchens and two bathrooms, so there is scope to retain the separate accommodation or explore creating a larger home, subject to the necessary consents and compliance checks.

The work looks like a light modernisation project: the kitchens and bathrooms have older finishes, while the living and bedroom spaces appear usable. The conservatory and maintained rear garden add useful space, and the renovation range is £5,500–£16,500. The figures support a good opportunity overall, with the layout and title arrangements worth checking as part of due diligence.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a substantial discount to the local £/sq ft average, leaving room to create value through modernisation.
  • Choose whether to retain the two-flat arrangement or explore combining the accommodation, subject to permissions and compliance.
  • Make use of the conservatory and rear garden as additional living and outdoor space.
