Description
This four-bedroom detached house in Derriford is offered with no onward chain and provides scope for updating. The ground floor has an entrance hall, cloakroom, a long lounge and dining room, a separate sitting room or sun lounge, and a kitchen/breakfast room with a side porch. Upstairs are four bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes, alongside a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
The rear reception rooms open onto an enclosed south-facing garden, while the front has a block-paved driveway and a double garage with power and lighting. The property has uPVC double glazing and gas warm-air heating, with all main services connected.

The existing accommodation and 1970s layout offer a basis for buyers considering modernisation.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a usable four-bedroom detached house with a strong canvas for a light modernisation: the interiors are consistently dated, so refreshed wall finishes and flooring could make a clear difference without the photos suggesting a major external project. The two reception areas, including a sun lounge opening onto the south-facing garden, are a distinctive feature, alongside the driveway, garage and established garden. The renovation range is £8,000–£18,000.
At £475,000, value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The overall score is 55/100, grade D: the house has good fundamentals and location, but the available information does not establish its value or residual upside.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated wall coverings and floor finishes across the photographed rooms for a more current feel.
- Make the most of the lounge/dining room and separate sun lounge, both with access to the south-facing garden.
- Build on the existing four-bedroom layout, driveway, garage and established enclosed garden.
