Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is of non-standard construction and requires modernisation. It is within walking distance of Royal Wootton Bassett town centre. The ground floor has an entrance hall, living/dining room and kitchen, with three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The property has double glazing and gas central heating, as stated in the listing. Outside, there is a small front garden, side driveway parking for one or two cars and side access to a large rear garden, mainly laid to lawn. The listing notes scope and space for a side or rear extension, subject to consent; planning feasibility would need to be verified. The sale is by online auction, with a guide price of £110,000+. Buyers should review the legal pack and auction terms, including any additional fees, and take professional advice on the non-standard construction and condition.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At a £110,000 guide, this three-bedroom semi offers a substantial project in a town-centre-walkable location, with driveway parking and a large rear garden. The photos show extensive wear across the living areas, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms, while the garden needs clearing; there is plenty of scope to reshape and refresh the interiors and make better use of the outdoor space. The listing also mentions possible side or rear extension subject to consent, which would need its own feasibility checks.

The overall WHOTS score is 48/100 (E, Low Opportunity). Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Non-standard construction also calls for specialist due diligence before committing.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the worn interiors as a full-house project, including the dated kitchen, bathroom, damaged flooring and marked finishes.
  • Clear and improve the large rear garden, creating more usable outdoor space alongside the existing driveway parking.
  • Explore the stated scope for side or rear extension, subject to consent and verified feasibility.

Key risks

  • Stripped and deteriorated finishes across several photographed rooms, together with the overgrown garden, make this a heavy programme: plan for a full interior rebuild and garden clearance rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Non-standard construction is stated in the listing; obtain specialist advice and checks before purchase.
