Description
This four-bedroom detached home offers a practical layout with an integral garage, driveway parking and an enclosed rear garden. It is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, with scope for a new owner to update or personalise the accommodation over time.
On the ground floor, the lounge is separate from the kitchen-diner, which has fitted units and French doors to the garden. A utility room and a downstairs WC provide additional household space. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and the other bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
Outside, the driveway provides off-road parking and access to the integral garage. The enclosed rear garden includes paved areas and planting, with room to adapt the space to suit different uses. Local shops, schools and everyday amenities are nearby, with access to the M1 and other commuter routes.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a spacious, stone-built four-bedroom detached home with useful family features: an integral garage, broad driveway, utility room and an en-suite. The photographed rooms look clean and serviceable, so the project is light rather than a major refurbishment; the clearest scope is to clear and refresh the enclosed rear garden and personalise the interiors over time.
The main drawback is value. At £340,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and once a mid-to-substantial programme of works is allowed for, the overall cost is stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area. That makes it a weaker WHOTS opportunity despite the strong fundamentals and manageable condition.
Key opportunities
- Four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, offer flexible family, guest or home-working space.
- Integral garage, ample driveway parking and a separate utility room add useful day-to-day practicality.
- The enclosed rear garden has scope for a straightforward clearance and redesign to suit the next owner.
Key risks
- The asking price is already above the local £/sqf average, and the purchase price plus a mid-to-substantial works programme would leave total costs stretched against the local benchmark for a home of this size.
- Headroom after works looks limited when the asking price sits alongside the indicated works scale — around 16% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today; we have not assumed a post-renovation resale figure.
