Description

This three-bedroom detached bungalow in Littleton is offered with no onward chain and has spacious accommodation set within extensive gardens, including an established orchard and additional orchard land stated to extend to 0.14 acre.

The principal bedroom suite occupies an extended roof space and includes a dressing area and en-suite. A large living room connects with a dining area that opens to the rear garden through French doors. The kitchen has fitted cabinetry and granite worktops, with a rear porch giving further access outside. Outside, the gardens include lawns, mature planting and fruit trees, with a private outlook towards open green space. A garage provides storage and workshop space. Littleton is on the outskirts of Chester, with amenities in nearby Vicars Cross and access to Chester city centre and the wider road network.

35out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a spacious detached bungalow with bright living and dining areas, a large established garden and an unusually appealing orchard setting. The interior looks clean and usable, so the scope is more of a cosmetic refresh than a major rebuild; the older kitchen and bathroom finishes, plus the damaged area beneath the kitchen cabinetry, offer clear places to improve. The additional orchard land and shared interest in adjoining land are distinctive features, though their extent and associated rights should be checked.

The project numbers deserve scrutiny: once you allow for meaningful works on top of the asking price, the economics look thin versus current-condition benchmarks — roughly 17% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Hence the weak economics component — a proxy for today's market, not post-refurbishment GDV.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the older interior finishes while retaining the generous, bright living and dining spaces.
  • Make the established garden, orchard and garden access a central feature of the home.
  • Review the kitchen layout and finishes, investigating the damaged area beneath the cabinetry as part of the work.

Key risks

  • The asking price is high relative to local benchmarks, and the purchase plus improvement programme leaves the overall cost position stretched for this floor area.
  • The all-in picture is soft once the asking price and a mid-to-substantial refurb are combined, leaving a gap of around 17% versus area norms for this sqft; we have not assumed a post-renovation resale figure.
