Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £110,000, this Victorian terrace is priced well below the local average per square foot, making it a compelling entry point for a buyer prepared to take on a substantial project. Its two living spaces, two double bedrooms and additional room off the rear bedroom offer useful scope to rethink and improve the layout, while the rear garden adds room to create an attractive outdoor space. The asking price plus the stated £55,000–£95,000 renovation range gives a broad purchase-and-works scale of £165,000–£205,000, before fees and other costs; this is not a valuation of the finished property.

The photographs show deterioration across several rooms, including mould-like ceiling staining, alongside a tired kitchen and bathroom. The rear garden is overgrown, and the outbuilding has cracked render that warrants inspection. The harbour-side location and no onward chain add appeal, but this is a full-scale renovation rather than a cosmetic refresh.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the two living spaces and the additional room off the rear bedroom to make better use of the house’s layout.
  • Replace the dated kitchen and improve the bathroom, creating a clear opportunity to refresh two particularly tired areas.
  • Clear and landscape the rear garden to make use of its size and improve the setting of the house.

Key risks

  • Marked and deteriorated finishes across several rooms, mould-like staining, worn or incomplete floors and neglected external areas, together with a £55,000–£95,000 works range, make this a substantial budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Mould-like staining and deterioration are visible in several areas; the cause and any required remedial work need investigation.
  • The rear outbuilding has cracked render and appears in poor condition; its significance and repair needs should be checked.
