Description
Offered at auction, this freehold detached house occupies a corner plot and is being sold with vacant possession. The accommodation comprises three reception rooms, a dining kitchen, utility room and ground-floor cloakroom, with four bedrooms upstairs, including two with en-suites, alongside a family bathroom and galleried landing.
The property has gas central heating and double glazing, but the listing states that modernisation and upgrading are required throughout. Outside, there are gardens to the front, side and rear, a driveway and a detached single garage. The rear garden is described as needing cultivation. The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with binding contracts exchanged at the point of sale. Buyers should review the legal pack and bidder terms, including the deposit and fees, and make their own enquiries before bidding.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This detached four-bedroom house has strong project potential: three reception rooms, a substantial kitchen/dining space, a galleried landing and a corner plot give it more to work with than a simple cosmetic update. The photos show worn finishes across several rooms, dark wall staining that needs investigation, damaged or unfinished ceiling areas and an overgrown rear garden, so this is a substantial, multi-room programme rather than a quick refresh. The exterior appears generally intact, though the roof is mossy in places.
The score is 46/100 (E, Low Opportunity), with the visible condition and limited location score weighing on the overall result despite good fundamentals. The £365,000 guide price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.
Key opportunities
- Three reception rooms and a substantial kitchen/dining space give scope to create a coherent layout suited to modern family living.
- The galleried landing and four-bedroom arrangement provide distinctive character to retain or rework as part of a full interior improvement.
- The corner plot, front and side gardens, driveway and detached garage offer room to improve the outdoor setting and arrival.
Key risks
- Worn finishes across several rooms, damaged or unfinished ceiling areas and staining requiring investigation make this a substantial multi-room programme; allow for a longer, hands-on project rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The rear garden is overgrown, with worn paving and fencing, adding outdoor clearance and improvement work.
