End Of TerraceDescription
This chain-free four-bedroom home is arranged over three floors and includes a substantial basement. The accommodation offers scope for further refurbishment, with some improvement work already carried out and additional finishing and modernisation still required.
On the ground floor, a hallway leads to a spacious lounge with a bay window and fireplace feature. The kitchen and dining area has existing cupboards and worktop space, with room for a dining table and potential to update the layout and finish.
Three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC occupy the first floor. A further bedroom and a separate dressing room are on the second floor, offering flexible use as storage, workspace or hobby space. Traditional features include bay windows, fireplaces and character internal doors, while laminate-style flooring has been fitted in a number of rooms.
The basement provides additional storage, with any alternative use dependent on suitability and the necessary consents. The property is offered chain-free and may suit a buyer looking to complete the refurbishment to their own specification. The seller also offers an optional reservation deposit scheme, with terms and timing to be confirmed with the agent.

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £280,000, this chain-free four-bedroom home offers a substantial project across three floors, with a basement, bay windows and a traditional fireplace giving it character and scope. The interior is partly refreshed but visibly unfinished: the kitchen and bathroom need completion, while several rooms and floors need making-good; the front paintwork is also extensively weathered. The asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing.
The 48/100, grade E score reflects limited condition and incomplete price/value evidence, rather than a finding that the property is overpriced. There is a clear opportunity to shape the accommodation into a more cohesive home, but this is a substantial multi-room programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. The roof condition is not visible enough to assess.
Key opportunities
- Use the three-floor layout and substantial basement to make the most of the property's generous accommodation, with any alternative basement use subject to suitability and necessary consents.
- Build on the bay windows and fireplace to create a more cohesive interior while completing the unfinished kitchen and bathroom.
- There is scope to improve the worn and unfinished flooring, staircase and decorating across several rooms as part of a whole-house scheme.
Key risks
- Partly stripped-back finishes and unfinished work across several rooms mean a substantial multi-room programme; plan for a full interior making-good and completion job, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Extensively flaking and weathered paint across the front elevation needs inspection and repair; the roof condition cannot be assessed from the available images.
