Description

This four-bedroom detached residence occupies part of a substantial 19th-century stone property in Menston. The ground-floor accommodation extends to around 3,500 sq ft and includes several reception rooms, a large breakfast kitchen, a study area and four double bedrooms, three with en-suite facilities, alongside a house bathroom. A sizeable basement provides additional space that may offer scope for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The house has gas-fired central heating and some double glazing. The current accommodation is described as needing modernisation, offering scope to update the interiors to suit a new owner's requirements. Outside, there are enclosed, level gardens with lawn, mature planting and paved seating areas, as well as off-street parking and an outbuilt garage. Menston's village shops, pubs, school and other amenities are within walking distance. The village has rail services towards Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley, with bus connections to nearby towns. Ilkley, Otley and Guiseley provide further shopping options, and Leeds Bradford Airport is a short drive away.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

A strong value-led opportunity: at £850,000, the asking price is about £237/sq ft, around 35% below the local average. This substantial stone house offers over 3,500 sq ft of single-storey living, generous reception space and a large kitchen-dining area, with clean, usable interiors that provide scope to update the traditional finishes to your taste. The established level garden, parking and garage add to the appeal, while the large basement is described as potentially convertible subject to consents, though its condition and feasibility are not shown.

Key opportunities

  • Update the traditional décor and finishes across the spacious, serviceable living areas.
  • Make the most of the substantial single-storey layout, including the generous reception rooms and kitchen-dining space.
  • Investigate whether the large basement can be converted, subject to condition, feasibility and necessary consents.
