Description

This three-bedroom extended semi-detached house is in Bishopthorpe, around two miles from York, with village shops, pubs and leisure facilities nearby and access to York and the A64. The property is being sold as seen, with no onward chain, and renovation work has begun but remains incomplete. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a large living and dining room, and an extended kitchen area that still requires completion. Upstairs are three double bedrooms. The largest spans the width of the house and could offer scope for an en-suite or walk-in wardrobe, or potentially be divided, subject to the necessary permissions. The listing also describes a large dormer loft space with further development potential, which would need to be assessed. Outside, there is a front driveway and integral garage, while the rear garden has a lawn and patio. The neighbouring property is also for sale, presenting a possible opportunity to consider both properties together. Council Tax Band C.

65out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £400,000, this three-bedroom Bishopthorpe semi is priced at £320/sqf, 17.7% below the local average—a clear opportunity to acquire below the area’s typical level. It is a medium-scale project: the renovation has already begun, but the kitchen extension remains unfinished and several rooms have dated finishes, giving a buyer scope to complete the work and make the home their own.

The established garden, driveway and integral garage add practical appeal, while the wide bedroom and large dormer loft space offer possibilities to explore, subject to feasibility and any required permissions. The village setting close to York is another positive; the main consideration is planning and budgeting the remaining work carefully, particularly around the incomplete extension.

Key opportunities

  • Complete the unfinished kitchen extension and choose a specification that suits the home.
  • Refresh the dated finishes across the living and bedroom spaces as part of a coherent update.
  • Explore the wide bedroom and large dormer loft space for layout or additional-use potential, subject to feasibility and permissions.

Key risks

  • The incomplete extension needs careful scoping, with a clear programme for completing the remaining work.
