Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house occupies a corner plot and offers spacious rooms, high ceilings and scope for updating. The entrance hall has parquet flooring, which continues through the ground floor, and includes a staircase and a separate WC. A long lounge and dining room spans the front and rear of the house, with windows at both ends and to the side. The kitchen has extensive work surfaces, integrated appliances and room for a table, with the listing noting potential for modernisation.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a boarded loft accessed by a ladder for storage. Outside, the rear driveway leads to a garage, while the front garden may offer scope to create further parking, subject to the necessary consents. The property is offered with no onward chain.
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
This is a light, liveable updating project with generous proportions and character features to build on. The spacious lounge/diner, high ceilings and intact parquet flooring give it a distinctive starting point, while the older décor and kitchen leave room for a cosmetic refresh. The corner plot, driveway, garage and established garden add useful scope, including possible extra front parking subject to the necessary consents.
The 53/100 D grade reflects an opportunity that is difficult to judge fully from the available figures: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed. The £400,000 asking price therefore cannot be called cheap or dear on that basis. The house appears clean and usable, and the visible exterior looks generally intact, but the score remains cautious while the value picture is incomplete.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the older interior finishes and functional kitchen to give the home a more contemporary feel.
- Make the most of the spacious lounge/diner, high ceilings and intact parquet flooring as characterful features.
- Tidy and selectively improve the established garden; explore the potential for additional front parking subject to required consents.
