Description

This three-bedroom late Victorian terraced house is offered with no onward chain and has scope for further updating. The ground floor includes two reception rooms, with a bay window and fireplace in the front living room, plus a fitted kitchen and rear porch. Upstairs are three bedrooms, with built-in storage in each, and a family bathroom. At the front, an open-plan shingled garden leads to a covered entrance with period tiled flooring. The rear garden includes a lawn, established planting, a paved patio, a summerhouse and brick outbuildings, with a further garden area beyond. A pedestrian right of way crosses the side and rear of the property to provide access to the neighbouring home, so buyers should review the legal details. The house is freehold, has mains services and an EPC rating of C. Fordham is around five miles from Newmarket and 12 miles from Ely. The listing notes that some images have been digitally altered and that unaltered reference photographs are available.

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

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £275,000, this three-bedroom Victorian terrace is priced below the local average at £289/sqf versus £327/sqf, making the asking price a clear opportunity. Its two reception rooms and particularly generous, established garden give it plenty of character, while the visible work is a light refresh rather than a major overhaul: the interiors are usable but dated, and the kitchen and bathroom offer scope for optional updating.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated décor and flooring across the usable reception rooms and bedrooms.
  • Update the functional kitchen and older-style bathroom finishes to suit your taste.
  • Make the most of the extensive established garden, with its mature planting, paved areas, summerhouse and brick outbuildings.
