Description
This two-bedroom terraced house is set in a residential cul-de-sac and offers a living room, separate kitchen, family bathroom and separate WC. Both bedrooms are described as doubles, and the property has a private rear garden. The accommodation would benefit from modernisation, with scope to update the existing rooms and finishes. Any changes or additions would be subject to the relevant planning and building control requirements.
Local shops, supermarkets, cafés and other services are available around Green Wrythe Lane and Middleton Road. Nearby green spaces include Poulter Park. The area is served by local primary and secondary schools, and Mitcham Junction station, around 0.9 miles away, provides rail services and Tramlink connections. St Helier and Hackbridge stations and local bus routes offer further travel options.

32out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This two-bedroom terrace has a clear, moderate-sized improvement project: dated finishes across the living room, bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom, plus a heavily overgrown private garden to clear and shape. The brick exterior and tiled roof look broadly intact in the available wide views, and the cul-de-sac setting, two double bedrooms and separate WC give the house a useful base to work from.
The asking price is the sticking point: at about £611 per sq ft, it is around 18% above the local average. The £35,000–£60,000 refurb range also leaves the purchase price plus works stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is with current local average value, not a forecast of the renovated home's value. Overall, this is a weaker opportunity at the current price, despite the scope to refresh the accommodation and garden.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated living room and bedroom finishes, including carpets and wall décor.
- Replace or update the visibly dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, with a separate WC already in place.
- Clear the overgrown front and rear gardens and make better use of the private outdoor space.
Key risks
- At £375,000 plus the £35,000–£60,000 refurbishment range, the cost of purchase and works is stretched against the local average benchmark for this floor area.
- Expect total exposure near £422,500 once the asking price and an estimated £47,500 of refurbishment are combined, about 25% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
