Description

This five-bedroom Victorian detached house in Crown is described as requiring full refurbishment. Period details include fireplaces, deep skirting boards, ceiling roses and stonework to the exterior. The accommodation is arranged over basement and upper levels, with a kitchen, dining room, two sitting or lounge rooms, five bedrooms, a bathroom, an ensuite shower room and a separate WC. The basement corridor connects several of the lower-level rooms and has access to the side of the property. The property occupies a substantial plot with front and rear gardens, rear access and off-street parking. The listing also notes two red-brick outbuildings with slate roofs and a garage. Its central Inverness setting is within walking distance of the city centre, local shops and services, and nearby primary and secondary schools. The scale, layout and retained period features provide scope for a comprehensive refurbishment, with any development or conversion potential requiring verification.

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

This is a low-scoring opportunity overall, with the score reflecting a heavy project and gaps in the value assessment rather than a lack of character. The asking price is £380,000, but floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The Victorian stonework, fireplaces and decorative plasterwork give the house a distinctive starting point, while the five-bedroom layout, multiple reception rooms, substantial plot, parking and outbuildings offer scope to shape a substantial family home.

Key opportunities

  • Restore and showcase the Victorian stone exterior, fireplaces and decorative plasterwork while reworking the interior to suit a modern family home.
  • The five-bedroom layout and multiple reception rooms provide scope to rethink how the house’s living and sleeping spaces work together.
  • Clear and improve the substantial rear garden, and explore how the parking, garage and outbuildings can best support the property.

Key risks

  • Stripped and deteriorated finishes across several rooms, staining, and tired exterior fabric make this a heavy full-interior programme; allow for a substantial programme of investigation and repair rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Visible moisture staining needs investigation to establish its source; the roof condition cannot be confirmed from the exterior views, and the exterior fabric, services and outbuildings also require inspection.
