Description

Offered at auction, this five-bedroom Grade II listed semi-detached house in Tean is vacant and requires a full scheme of works. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with a porch, hallway, dining room, lounge, kitchen/diner, utility room, WC and larder on the ground floor. Four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, and a separate bathroom occupy the first floor. The second floor provides a further bedroom and a study or playroom. Original details include Minton-style flooring, exposed beams and a wooden staircase. The property stands on a sizeable plot with gardens to the side and rear, a driveway, garage, outhouse and a disused swimming pool that the listing says could be reinstated. Heating is by oil. The house is freehold and has council tax band E; an EPC is not available because of its listed status. Tean has access to the A50 and M6, with schools in the village and Denstone College nearby. The sale is by auction, with bidder registration and a legal pack available through the auctioneers. Any restoration or alteration proposals will need to take account of the property’s Grade II listing.

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial five-bedroom Grade II listed house with retained character, including the original staircase, patterned flooring and exposed beams, plus a sizeable plot, garage and a disused pool that may offer scope to reinstate. The photographs show a full-scale project: worn and marked finishes across several rooms, pronounced staining and damaged lower wall surfaces in places, dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, and a heavily overgrown garden. The stated £70,000–£125,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved; the opportunity is to restore and shape a distinctive, spacious home rather than make cosmetic updates.

At 48/100, grade E, this is a low-scoring opportunity overall, with condition and the inability to assess value or residual economics limiting the case. The £300,000 guide price cannot be compared with local £/sqf because floor area is missing, so value against local rates cannot yet be judged. Roof condition is not reliably visible, and the pool’s condition and feasibility of reinstatement are also unknown.

Key opportunities

  • Restore the original staircase, patterned flooring and exposed beams as defining features in a spacious five-bedroom home.
  • Rework the dated kitchen and bathroom and renew worn finishes across the photographed rooms to create a coherent interior.
  • Clear and improve the gardens and access paths, with the disused pool offering potential for reinstatement if its condition and feasibility allow.

Key risks

  • Marked and deteriorated finishes, staining and worn or incomplete flooring across several photographed rooms, alongside a heavily overgrown garden, make the £70,000–£125,000 works range a full-gut-scale budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Roof condition cannot be judged reliably from the photographs; the disused pool’s condition and reinstatement feasibility are also unverified.
