Description

Set within a quiet courtyard just off Finkle Street, this two-bedroom Georgian cottage is offered as a renovation project close to Knaresborough High Street and its shops, cafés and other amenities. The property is believed to date from 1732 and retains features including exposed roof beams and traditional timber sliding windows. The ground floor has a living room with an open staircase, a galley kitchen and a shower room. Two double bedrooms are arranged upstairs. The listing describes the timber windows as being in reasonable condition and says the remainder of the cottage requires renovation, leaving scope to update the accommodation while retaining its period character. The cottage is leasehold, with a 999-year lease that began on 2 September 1732 and approximately 705 years remaining. Council Tax Band B.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

65out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £150,000, this cottage is priced below the local average at £284/sq ft versus £330, making it an attractive entry point for a character-led project. The dated finishes, worn flooring and older galley kitchen offer scope for a light refresh, while the exposed staircase and roof beams give the compact Georgian home plenty of period character. The bedroom wall marking is worth checking to establish its cause; no obvious major structural or roof failure is visible in the submitted views.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire below the local average at £284/sq ft, compared with £330/sq ft locally.
  • Refresh dated wallpaper, paintwork and flooring to give the compact interior a more contemporary feel.
  • Update the older galley kitchen while retaining the exposed staircase and roof beams as period focal points.

Key risks

  • Inspect the marking below the bedroom window to determine its cause and whether any making-good is needed.
