Description

This vacant ground-floor apartment occupies part of the annex to Oakhurst House, a Victorian villa dating from 1892. The one-bedroom home has notably generous proportions, period plasterwork and a layout that could be reconsidered as part of a refurbishment. The listing describes it as a blank canvas, with scope to update the interior while retaining its original character. The accommodation includes an entrance lobby, central hall, sitting room, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The sitting room connects semi-openly with the kitchen, and the bedroom has two full-height walk-in closets, one formerly arranged as an ensuite. The listing states that the property has recently been rewired and fitted with a Vaillant Eco25 gas combi boiler. Its EPC rating is E. Outside, the apartment is set within mature communal grounds with lawn, established borders, trees, a raised deck and a summer house. A garage and carport are included, with further communal parking described as available on a first-come basis. Cottingham station and village centre are nearby.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

72out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £100,000, this is a strong-value way into a characterful Victorian apartment: the asking price is about 32% below the local average per square foot. The generous sitting room and bedroom, decorative plasterwork and established communal grounds give the project plenty to build on, while recent rewiring and a new combi boiler provide a useful head start.

The visible work looks mainly cosmetic, with older finishes, worn carpets and some marks offering scope to refresh the interior to your taste. The £6,000–£14,000 renovation range puts the indicative purchase-plus-renovation midpoint at £110,000, before fees and other costs; this is not a GDV. Overall, it’s a good opportunity for a buyer seeking period character and room to add value through a considered update.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the worn carpets, dated finishes and visible marks to give the interior a more cohesive, contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the spacious sitting room and bedroom while retaining the decorative plasterwork and period-style details.
  • Enjoy the established communal grounds, with garage and car-port parking and storage adding practical value.
