Description

This detached four-bedroom house provides approximately 1,838 sq. ft. of accommodation, with a detached double garage and a south-west-facing rear garden. The ground floor includes a spacious entrance hall, a fourth double bedroom that could also serve as a study or reception room, and a long main living room with a fireplace and doors to the dining room. The dining room connects with the kitchen, which has fitted units, work surfaces, an oven and a gas hob. A utility room and a cloakroom/WC complete this floor. The living room also opens into a conservatory with access to the garden. Upstairs are three further double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, together with a family bathroom. The property is offered vacant with no forward chain and is described as requiring modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update the accommodation. Outside, a block-paved driveway provides off-road parking and continues alongside the house towards the detached double garage. The rear garden is mainly lawn with established planting and gated side access. The garage is stated to have power and lighting. Local amenities, schools, supermarkets, leisure facilities and transport links are within reach, with Bournemouth town centre, its mainline station and beaches also accessible. Palmer Snell notes that an AML check fee is payable by the buyer after an offer is accepted.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

77out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £450,000, this substantial detached home is priced around 34% below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear opportunity to acquire space at a comparatively low entry point. The 1,838 sq. ft. layout, generous driveway, detached double garage and south-west-facing garden give the project useful family-home appeal, with a spacious living room and conservatory already in place.

The interiors are dated in several areas, but that creates a clear medium-scale programme: modernise the kitchen and distinctive pink-tiled bathroom, refresh worn carpets and finishes, and bring the overgrown garden back into use. No obvious structural failure is visible in the photos.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen and pink-tiled bathroom to give the home a more contemporary feel.
  • Refresh wallpaper, ceiling finishes and worn carpets across several areas.
  • Restore the overgrown rear garden and make the most of its south-west-facing aspect.
