76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £140,000, this three-bedroom home is attractively priced at £122 per sq ft, well below the local average of £196 per sq ft. That gives buyers a strong entry point, with the engine’s indicative £149,000 purchase-plus-renovation midpoint comfortably below the implied local average value; this is a comparison, not a GDV or a full cost estimate.
The project looks mainly cosmetic: the usable rooms have dated timber panelling and finishes, while the established rear garden could be tidied and refreshed. The open-plan kitchen and sunroom, flexible ground-floor accommodation and village-centre setting give this home a useful canvas for a first-time buyer or landlord to personalise and improve.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated timber panelling and finishes across the lounge, kitchen and sunroom to give the living spaces a more contemporary feel.
- Tidy the established rear garden, including the patio joints and weathered timber boundaries, while making use of its existing planted areas.
- Make the most of the open-plan kitchen and sunroom, flexible ground-floor accommodation and village-centre location.
