Description

This two-bedroom terraced house in Kingsteignton is offered with no onward chain and has scope for updating. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a front-facing kitchen breakfast room and a lounge dining room with patio doors opening onto the rear garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom are described as needing updates, while the listing notes that internal damage associated with the recently replaced front and rear flat roofs has not yet been addressed. Outside, the enclosed, level garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a path and patio, and a rear gate onto a service lane. The property also has a garage and driveway parking. Kingsteignton has local shops and places to eat, with Newton Abbot nearby and road links to the A38 and M5. The available information identifies refurbishment work to consider, including the kitchen, bathroom and reported internal damage.

Confidence: MEDIUM

There is a useful project here: a two-bedroom house with a separate lounge and kitchen, an enclosed garden, garage and driveway, plus recently replaced front and rear flat roofs according to the listing. The dated kitchen and bathroom, marked finishes and untidy garden offer scope to reshape and improve the home. Visible staining and deterioration at the lower lounge wall, alongside the reported unresolved internal damage after the flat-roof work, need investigation as part of the project.

The asking price is £210,000, around 12% above the local £/sqf average, so price is not a value advantage. More importantly, adding the £30,000–£55,000 renovation range puts the purchase-plus-works cost at roughly £240,000–£265,000, stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area. That comparison is not a forecast of the value after renovation, but it makes the buying economics a significant weakness.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the separate kitchen and lounge to give the home a more cohesive, modern feel while retaining the practical two-bedroom layout.
  • Improve the enclosed lawn, patio and path to make better use of the garden and its access to the rear service lane.
  • Make a complete interior scheme of the dated finishes, with the garage and driveway adding useful everyday practicality.

Key risks

  • The £30,000–£55,000 works range makes this a substantial budget and programme, covering kitchen and bathroom updates, making good and decoration rather than a quick cosmetic refresh.
  • The asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and adding the stated works range leaves purchase-plus-renovation costs stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area.
  • Investigate the lounge’s lower-wall staining and deterioration, and clarify the reported unresolved internal damage following flat-roof replacement.
  • Total commitment could reach about £252,500 all-in — £42,500 of works on top of the asking price, about 26% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
