Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lammack has a hallway leading to two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and a utility room. The kitchen is described as needing modernisation, while the two reception rooms provide separate living and dining or flexible-use space. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a separate WC. A partially boarded loft is available for storage, with any further development subject to the necessary consents.
Outside, the property has driveway parking for two vehicles and a substantial rear garden. The listing notes that local primary schools are within walking distance. The existing layout and scope for updating may suit buyers considering a refurbishment, subject to inspection and verification of the property details.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This three-bedroom semi has a useful family layout, with two reception rooms, driveway parking and an established garden. The photographed interiors offer a clear medium-scale value-add project: update the visibly worn kitchen, refresh the dated bathroom and WC, and modernise carpets and decoration across several rooms. The loft is partially boarded, with further development only subject to consents and feasibility.
Worth weighing the all-in picture: combining the asking price with refurbishment of around £50,500 lifts all-in commitment to about £275,500 — around 18% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. So the headline score reflects limited headroom, not a judgement on the house as a project.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated, visibly damaged kitchen finishes within the existing footprint.
- Refresh the bathroom and separate WC, then bring the dated carpets and decorative finishes across several rooms up to a more current standard.
- Make use of the two reception rooms, driveway parking and established garden to strengthen its appeal as a family home.
Key risks
- The asking price plus refurbishment spend could leave limited headroom against local benchmarks for a 1,130 sq ft property.
- Expect total exposure near £275,500 when purchase and the £50,500 refurb range are added together, about 18% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size; post-works value sits outside our data.
