Description

This 1930s semi-detached house is offered with no onward chain in a cul-de-sac close to local shops, schools, bus stops and transport links. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, a lounge with a bay window, and an open-plan kitchen and dining area with fitted wall and base units, work surfaces, a sink and space for an oven. A separate utility room provides space for laundry appliances and a fridge freezer, with access to the rear garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a front-facing principal bedroom with a bay window, and a shower room with a walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC. Outside, the front garden sits alongside a private driveway with parking for several vehicles and a detached garage. The rear garden is described as mature and not overlooked, with lawn, established planting and a greenhouse. The property would benefit from modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update the existing accommodation. Fixtures, fittings and services have not been tested, and measurements are approximate.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

75out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £250,000, this three-bedroom 1930s semi is priced well below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear opportunity to acquire. The bay-windowed lounge, driveway and detached garage add useful appeal, while the no-chain sale and cul-de-sac setting are practical positives.

The visible interiors offer a straightforward scope for cosmetic updating, with the dated kitchen and older finishes providing room to put your own stamp on the house. The overgrown rear garden also has established boundaries, paved areas and a greenhouse to work with. The renovation range is £12,000–£25,000; overall, the numbers and manageable project scope support a good opportunity.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire below the local average £/sqf, with the asking price offering a strong value advantage.
  • Refresh the dated visible interiors, including the kitchen, to create a more contemporary finish.
  • Clear and improve the overgrown rear garden while making use of its established boundaries, paved areas and greenhouse.
