Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house is set on an elevated position in Avening, with village views from the front windows. The ground floor has an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, bathroom and utility or boot room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and an additional room that could be considered for a bath or shower room, subject to the necessary consent. The property is described as needing updating, offering scope for a purchaser to adapt the accommodation and finish to their own requirements. It has gas central heating and is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage. The freehold plot extends to 0.181 acres and includes parking to the front and side, a side garden and a larger rear garden with a summer house, timber outbuilding, fruit cages and an upper terrace. Avening has a primary school, pub, playing field and village facilities. More extensive amenities are available in Nailsworth and Tetbury, with Stroud and Kemble railway stations and the M4 and M5 within reach. The sale is subject to a restrictive covenant relating to the property's former local authority ownership. The agent states that some purchasers may qualify for automatic consent based on their Gloucestershire or Cotswolds residence and employment history; other applications may be considered after a minimum marketing period. Buyers should confirm the covenant requirements and their eligibility before proceeding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £325,000, this is priced well below the local average per square foot, making it an attractive opportunity to acquire a home in sought-after Avening and update it to your own taste. The interiors are usable but dated, so the visible scope is mainly redecoration and refreshed flooring, with the kitchen and bathroom fittings appearing serviceable. The £7,000–£16,000 renovation range points to a light project rather than a major refurbishment.

The standout extra is the unusually large garden, with established paths, growing areas and timber structures that could be improved over time. There is also a possible opportunity to create a first-floor bath or shower room, subject to consent and feasibility. Overall, the low entry price, village setting and manageable improvement scope support a good opportunity, though roof moss and weathered garden structures merit attention.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a price per square foot well below the local average, with a light refresh to personalise the usable interiors.
  • Make the most of the 0.181-acre garden, improving its paths, growing areas and weathered timber structures.
  • Explore the potential for a first-floor bath or shower room, subject to consent and feasibility.
