Description

This four-bedroom detached house is set in a cul-de-sac within The Brambles and offers 1,353 sq ft of accommodation, according to the supplied property data. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a long lounge and dining room, a separate study or playroom, a kitchen/breakfast room and a cloakroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms, with an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom and a separate family bathroom. The enclosed rear garden has lawn, decking and patio areas. At the front, a substantial driveway provides off-road parking for around three to four cars, alongside a detached double garage. The plot is described as having additional width, with scope for a possible side extension subject to planning permission and other checks. The existing layout and outdoor space provide a basis for considering future improvements, while the extent and feasibility of any changes would need to be assessed. The property is listed with Council Tax Band F and EPC Band D.

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a spacious detached family home with a long lounge/dining room, a maintained garden with patio and decking, and a detached double garage. The interiors look usable but dated, so there is scope for a light cosmetic refresh; the listing also highlights possible side-extension potential, subject to planning permission and feasibility.

The numbers are middling rather than compelling because works of around £10,000 on top of purchase push all-in figures towards £660,000 — roughly 6% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Worth factoring in before you assume strong upside from the works alone.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated bedroom and living-room colours and finishes without taking on a major interior overhaul.
  • The wide plot may offer scope for a side extension, subject to planning permission and feasibility checks.
  • Make the most of the enclosed garden, patio and decking, with a detached double garage and substantial driveway adding practical appeal.

Key risks

  • A damaged-looking patch on the en-suite ceiling merits inspection to establish its cause and any repair needed.
  • All-in costs look tight versus local benchmarks, so the purchase price leaves limited room for project costs and value creation.
