Description

This four-bedroom detached house on Ashleigh Road has substantial accommodation, a large established rear garden and an integral garage. The ground floor includes a reception hall, a spacious lounge and dining room with a fireplace and bay windows, a separate garden room opening onto the terrace, and a breakfast room adjoining the kitchen. A utility area, store and WC add practical space, while the existing arrangement offers scope to reconsider the kitchen and adjoining rooms, subject to any required consents. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, alongside a family bathroom, separate WC and storage. The property has been maintained but is described as needing modernisation, giving a purchaser the opportunity to update the interiors to suit their requirements. At the rear, the long garden has a paved terrace, lawn, mature hedging, trees and established planting. A substantial front driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the integral garage. Solihull town centre and railway station are within walking distance, according to the listing.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

82out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £850,000, this substantial detached home is priced well below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. Its generous reception rooms, four bedrooms, driveway and garage sit alongside an established garden, while the clean, usable interiors offer a medium-scale canvas for modernisation. The older kitchen and bathroom finishes, decoration and flooring give buyers scope to refresh the house and rethink the kitchen and adjoining breakfast-room arrangement, subject to feasibility and any required consents.

The asking price plus the stated £45,000–£75,000 renovation range gives a simple purchase-and-works span of £895,000–£925,000 before fees and other costs; this is not a forecast of the renovated value. The strong overall score reflects the combination of below-average £/sqf pricing, substantial accommodation and scope to add value, with the location score a little less strong than the other fundamentals.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a coherent modernisation.
  • Update wallpaper, decorative finishes and flooring across the reception rooms and bedrooms.
  • Explore a more contemporary kitchen and breakfast-room arrangement, subject to feasibility and any necessary consents.
