Description

Dating from 1825, this three-storey Georgian house is offered with no upward chain and has five bedrooms, several reception areas and a private courtyard garden. Its period features include sash windows, fireplaces and a feature staircase. The sitting room has previously been used as business premises, so a home-and-work arrangement may be worth exploring, subject to any required consents. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, lounge, family room and dining area, fitted kitchen and shower room. The first floor has three bedrooms, a family bathroom and access to a roof terrace overlooking the courtyard. Two further bedrooms and two eaves rooms are on the second floor. At the rear, a two-storey coach house provides additional space, while a tandem carport has access from Borough Street. The enclosed courtyard includes paved seating, raised beds and established planting. Any change of use or conversion of the coach house or eaves rooms would require the relevant permissions and approvals.

Our WHOTS verdict

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

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a characterful Georgian house with a strong project canvas: period fireplaces, sash-style windows, a feature staircase and a usable main house, alongside scope to refresh dated finishes and reclaim the overgrown courtyard. The coach house is unfinished and could add another dimension to the project, though its condition and any future use need inspection and relevant approvals. The renovation range is £9,000–£18,000 for the stated light works; the coach house may require separate assessment.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated wallpaper, colours and flooring while retaining period features such as fireplaces, sash-style windows and the feature staircase.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed courtyard, making better use of its established planting and paved areas.
  • Inspect the unfinished two-storey coach house to assess repair needs and possible uses, subject to relevant approvals.

Key risks

  • The coach house is unfinished, and its condition and potential use are uncertain; inspect it and establish the likely scope before budgeting.
  • Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet.
