Description

Offered with no onward chain, this two-bedroom mid-terraced house in Tandem has a full-depth living room, a kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The layout provides a starting point for buyers planning a refurbishment or updating the accommodation to their own requirements. The living room has a coal-effect fireplace and access to the kitchen and stairs. The kitchen is fitted with wood-effect cabinets and contrasting worktops, with understairs storage, a wall-mounted boiler and a door to the rear garden. Upstairs, both bedrooms are described as doubles, and the landing leads to the bathroom, which has a bath, wash basin and WC. At the rear, a tiered garden has a hardstanding area beside the house, steps, brick retaining walls and established planting beds. The different levels offer scope for changes to the outdoor layout. The property is in reach of local amenities, schools and transport links, and on-street parking is available.

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £135,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced below the local average per square foot, making it a relatively inexpensive way to acquire a project. The dated finishes give a buyer scope to refresh the kitchen and bathroom, improve the worn living-room floor and redecorate, while the tiered garden already has established planting and several levels to work with. The visible frontage and roofline appear generally intact.

The main caveat is the economics: purchase plus the £25,000–£45,000 renovation range looks tight against local value benchmarks, so the below-average purchase price does not by itself guarantee a comfortable margin. There is also damaged, discoloured plaster near the kitchen’s rear door to investigate as part of the works.

Key opportunities

  • Redesign the dated kitchen and update the bathroom finishes to give the home a more contemporary feel.
  • Refresh the worn living-room floor and dated interior finishes.
  • Make use of the established, tiered rear garden to create practical seating or planting areas across its existing levels.

Key risks

  • Damaged, discoloured plaster at the lower kitchen wall near the rear door should be investigated and allowed for in the works.
  • The purchase price plus refurbishment budget looks tight against local value benchmarks, leaving limited room for cost overruns.
