Description
A three-bedroom semi-detached house offered with no upward chain and vacant possession. It occupies a corner plot with front and rear gardens, a driveway and a larger-than-average rear garden with patio, established planting and outbuildings, including one with a WC. The property is described as requiring modernisation throughout, providing scope for a purchaser to update the accommodation. Any extension would be subject to the necessary permissions.
The ground floor includes a living room with a front-facing double-glazed window and rear patio doors, alongside a sizeable kitchen with fitted cupboards, sink, oven and access to the patio. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a shower room. The listing also states that the house has double glazing and gas central heating, and is freehold.
Local schools, parks, woodland walks, shops and other amenities are within reach, with road links serving surrounding towns and cities. Viewings are by appointment through Wallace Jones.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a weak overall WHOTS opportunity at 54/100 (grade D), although the generous corner plot, driveway and large established garden give the project some appeal. The visible interiors offer scope to update finishes and flooring, while the rear exterior paintwork and garden could also be improved. The asking price is £140,000, but floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the £25,000–£45,000 renovation range gives an indication of the works involved.
Key opportunities
- Use the generous corner plot, driveway and large established garden to shape a more attractive outdoor setting.
- Update the dated kitchen, shower room, decoration and worn flooring to create a more cohesive interior.
- Improve the flaking rear exterior paintwork and refresh the patio and garden areas.
Key risks
- Ceiling marks are visible in the living room; their cause and any required remedial work should be checked.
