Outside, the property has a paved driveway and front garden, while the rear garden includes a substantial decked area, external storage and access to a large garage from both the front and rear, plus a separate storeroom. The house backs onto Beau Desert Golf Club, with Cannock Chase nearby and village amenities, a primary school and routes to Cannock, Burntwood and Lichfield within reach. The listing presents the property as a project for buyers looking to modernise and adapt its generous accommodation. It is being sold through eXp Secure Sale, which requires a non-refundable reservation fee of £7,595 including VAT in addition to the agreed purchase price.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £250,000, the asking price is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf benchmark, giving this five-bedroom detached house a strong acquisition angle. The spacious living area, versatile additional reception space and garage offer a substantial canvas to reshape for family living, while the position backing onto Beau Desert Golf Club and access to Cannock Chase add appeal. The B grade reflects that combination of value and fundamentals, balanced against the work involved and an average location score.

This is a full-scale improvement project rather than a cosmetic refresh: several photographed rooms need making-good, new finishes and flooring, and the rear decking and stepped garden areas need attention. The dated kitchen and shower room also offer clear scope to update. The renovation range is £45,000–£75,000; the engine’s £310,000 purchase-plus-midpoint figure is a comparison with implied local average value, not a GDV or a complete all-in cost.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the generous living space and versatile reception areas to suit modern family use.
  • Refresh the dated kitchen and shower room as part of a coherent interior update.
  • Improve the broken rear decking and weathered stepped garden areas, making better use of the outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Several rooms have damaged or incomplete-looking finishes and flooring, alongside deteriorated decking; the £45,000–£75,000 works range makes this a substantial budget and programme commitment, not a cosmetic refresh.
