Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a plot of approximately 0.28 acres in Par. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, living room, kitchen/dining room, utility room with access to the garage, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. Outside, there is a driveway, garage and front garden, with an enclosed rear garden laid partly to patio and partly to lawn, backing onto neighbouring parkland. The property is described as requiring modernisation throughout and the plot may offer scope for improvement or redevelopment, subject to the necessary permissions and consents. The auctioneers report that subsidence has occurred due to a drainage issue; a report and quotation for proposed remedial work are included in the legal pack. Buyers are advised to carry out their own investigations, and the property may be unmortgageable. Par has local shops, cafés, public houses and a mainline railway station, with Par Sands beach nearby. Freehold. The auction is scheduled for 30 November to 1 December 2026. Fees and other potential disbursements apply; refer to the legal pack for details.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £200,000, the guide is about £159/sqf, well below the local average of £277/sqf, making the price a clear acquisition opportunity. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. This detached three-bedroom bungalow has a generous plot, garage, driveway and established garden, with scope to reshape and improve the interiors rather than simply make a cosmetic refresh.

The dated finishes across the rooms shown give a buyer a substantial project to work with. The main caution is the reported drainage-related subsidence: the listing says a report and proposed remedial works are in the legal pack, and also warns the property may be unmortgageable, so investigate the issue and funding position carefully before bidding.

Key opportunities

  • The detached single-storey layout and three bedrooms offer scope to rework and modernise the interior to suit a buyer’s needs.
  • The generous plot, established rear garden and paved patio provide a strong outdoor setting, with any redevelopment potential subject to permissions and consents.
  • The dated kitchen, bathroom and finishes across the rooms shown create a clear canvas for a substantial improvement programme.

Key risks

  • Reported drainage-related subsidence needs careful investigation: check the legal-pack report, proposed remedial works and completion status, and establish the implications for insurability and lending.
  • Dated interiors across the rooms shown mean a heavy, multi-room programme; plan for a full interior overhaul and a longer schedule rather than a cosmetic refresh.
