Description

The Address presents this chain-free three-bedroom mid-terrace house on Gordon Road in Beckenham, close to local shops and schools. The ground floor has an entrance porch and hall, a bay-fronted reception room with a fireplace, a separate dining room facing the garden, and a fitted kitchen with a utility area and downstairs WC. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a third bedroom and a family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower enclosure. The interiors offer scope for updating and personalisation. At the rear, an approximately 83ft garden includes a paved patio, lawn and established planting, with a garage at the far end. There is also off-street parking at the front. The listing notes potential for a rear extension and loft conversion, subject to planning permission. Any such work would require planning and technical feasibility checks.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a tidy, light-update project rather than a major renovation: the bay-fronted reception, separate dining room and long, established garden give the house a good base, while older finishes offer scope to personalise it. The rear extension and loft-conversion possibilities are noted in the listing, subject to planning permission.

The price is the sticking point: at £650,000, it is around 11% above the local £/sqf average, and purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks. There is still a clear canvas for a buyer who values the setting and garden, but the numbers make this a selective opportunity rather than an obvious value buy.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decorative finishes across the living spaces and bedrooms to create a more contemporary feel.
  • The 83ft garden, with patio, lawn and established planting, offers an attractive outdoor setting to build on.
  • The listing identifies potential for a rear extension or loft conversion, subject to planning permission.

Key risks

  • The asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks.
