Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £500,000, this detached bungalow is priced below the local average per square foot, making it a relatively attractive way to acquire a substantial corner plot in south Chesham. The house is clean and usable, with scope for light cosmetic updates, while the large established garden and detached workshop give the property much of its character.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire below the local average asking price per square foot.
  • Personalise the functional bungalow with light cosmetic updates, including the older-style kitchen and bathroom finishes.
  • Make the most of the one-third-acre plot, long established garden and detached workshop; any redevelopment or enlargement would be subject to consents.

Key risks

  • Roof coverings and the condition of the detached workshop are not fully assessable from the available photographs.
