Confidence: LOW

At a £75,000 guide price, this three-bedroom, two-reception terrace offers a substantial canvas, but the grade E reflects how demanding the works are. Photos show severe fire and smoke damage across several interior areas, with charred and smoke-stained surfaces and damaged ceilings; the £45,000–£85,000 renovation range points to a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. The fitted kitchen appears comparatively intact, and the front elevation shows no clear major structural defect in the photos. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.

The two reception rooms, three bedrooms and enclosed courtyard give a renovator scope to rework and finish the house as a coherent home, while the courtyard could be cleared and improved. The main challenge is establishing the extent of fire-related damage and delivering the work within a realistic budget and programme.

Key opportunities

  • Use the two reception rooms and three-bedroom layout as the basis for a fully renewed family home.
  • The comparatively intact fitted kitchen offers a starting point for a considered redesign rather than a completely blank shell.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed rear courtyard to create a more usable outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Fire and smoke damage across several interior areas, including charred surfaces and damaged ceilings, needs thorough inspection to establish the full making-good scope.
  • The £45,000–£85,000 works range and stripped, fire-affected finishes make this a full-gut budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
