Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house has been held by the same family for many years and is described as requiring updating throughout. Its original character features provide a starting point for refurbishment, with a lounge, separate dining area, conservatory and kitchen on the ground floor, alongside a cloakroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. A large attic room is currently accessed by ladder and has previously been used as a games room; any formal conversion would require the relevant consents and approvals. The listing also identifies possible side and rear extensions, subject to planning permission. Outside, the property has a generous rear garden, front garden, driveway and garage. The sale is by the Modern Method of Auction, with a reservation fee and a stated 56-day completion process after receipt of the draft contract; buyers should review the auction pack and terms before proceeding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £400,000, this is a medium-scale project with appealing period character: the reception rooms look generously proportioned, with decorative cornicing, and the conservatory, driveway and garage add useful features. The interiors are dated but appear generally usable, while the overgrown garden offers clear scope to restore and improve the outdoor space. The kitchen and pink-toned bathroom finishes are particular candidates for modernisation.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated interiors and modernise the kitchen and distinctive pink-toned bathroom finishes.
  • Clear and reshape the overgrown rear garden to make better use of its generous space.
  • Retain and complement the original decorative details; the listing also suggests possible loft or extension options, subject to feasibility and approvals.
