Description

This three-bedroom extended semi-detached house occupies a large corner plot of approximately 450m² in Barnby Dun. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, front lounge opening into a dining area, an extended kitchen, utility room, boot room and ground-floor WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The property is offered with no onward chain and requires updating, providing scope for a purchaser to refurbish the existing accommodation to their requirements. Outside, the mature garden wraps around the front, side and rear of the house and is described as overgrown, with farmland beyond the rear boundary. The property also has a front drive, parking and a garage. The listing describes Barnby Dun as a riverside village with schools, local amenities and a supermarket. The central-heating system is stated not to be working, and the boiler in the utility room is described as old and not working. The tenure is stated as freehold, subject to confirmation.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The 48/100, grade E score reflects an incomplete value picture and a substantial works programme, rather than a confirmed price problem: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The £38,000–£65,000 renovation range points to a full project, with a replacement kitchen, new finishes and flooring, garden clearance, and the stated non-working heating system all part of the scope. The visible exterior appears broadly intact, while the extended ground floor and large corner plot of about 450m² give the project room to create a distinctive family home.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the extended ground-floor arrangement, including the open living and dining areas and utility spaces, to create a more cohesive family layout.
  • Replace the visibly worn kitchen and refresh the dated decoration and flooring to give the house a consistent new finish.
  • Clear and improve the approximately 450m² corner-plot garden, making the most of its outlook over farmland.

Key risks

  • The £38,000–£65,000 works range, non-working heating system, kitchen replacement, widespread tired finishes and overgrown garden make this a full-gut-scale programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
