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

45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial stone, double-fronted house with period fireplaces, two reception rooms, three bedrooms and a basement—a distinctive canvas for creating a bespoke family home. The visible interiors are in severe condition, with worn floors and deteriorated finishes across several rooms; the kitchen ceiling has an open damaged section, the bathroom fittings are tired, and the rear garden is heavily overgrown. The £65,000–£105,000 renovation range reflects a full-scale project, with scope to rework the finishes, kitchen, bathroom and garden.

Key opportunities

  • Use the double-fronted stone exterior, period fireplaces and two reception rooms as the basis for a character-led modern family home.
  • The listed three-bedroom layout and basement offer scope to tailor the interior and make better use of the available space.
  • Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom, renew worn finishes, and reclaim the overgrown rear garden.

Key risks

  • Extensive deterioration across visible rooms, including an open damaged section of kitchen ceiling, means the £65,000–£105,000 works budget needs careful control and a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
