Description

This three-bedroom Art Deco-style semi-detached house has two reception rooms, a kitchen, separate utility room and ground-floor bathroom. A conservatory extends the living space at the rear. The accommodation includes a bay-fronted lounge and dining room, three bedrooms upstairs, and a utility area with a further WC. The property is described as an opportunity for improvement, with scope for a purchaser to update it to their requirements. The freehold plot is stated to extend to around a third of an acre, with a rear garden approximately 500 feet deep. Existing outbuildings include stables and a livestock shelter, and the listing notes far-reaching views across the backwaters towards Harwich. Any access or rental arrangement involving adjoining farmland would depend on the neighbouring owners' agreement and availability. Walton-on-the-Naze facilities, Frinton-on-Sea's Connaught Avenue, the Triangle shopping centre, local bus stops and train stations with links to London Liverpool Street are noted as being within reach. Services are stated to include electricity, gas, water and mains drainage. The EPC rating is listed as to be confirmed.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £415,000, this three-bedroom Art-Deco-style semi is priced below the local average at £290 per sq ft versus £312, making it an opportunity to acquire a substantial home with scope to add your own stamp. The dated finishes, open kitchen ceiling and deterioration to the utility-room wall point to a medium-scale improvement project, while the large rear plot, stables and far-reaching backwater views give it a distinctive setting and plenty to work with.

The overall opportunity is still weak: once improvement is allowed for, the comparison with current local average value leaves little headroom. The visible ceiling and wall issues need investigation, and the overgrown plot and weathered outbuildings add to the work involved.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire below the local average at £290 per sq ft and refresh the dated finishes across the photographed living spaces and bedrooms.
  • Improve the extensive rear plot, with its stables and livestock shelter, to make better use of the outdoor space.
  • Make the most of the Art-Deco character, two reception rooms and far-reaching views across the backwaters.

Key risks

  • Investigate the open kitchen ceiling and exposed wiring, along with the deteriorated and stained utility-room wall; the cause is not established.
  • The medium-scale programme spans interior updating and repairs as well as clearing and improving the rear plot; weathered timber outbuildings also need inspection.
