The property is in Buckhurst Hill, with Central line services from Buckhurst Hill Underground Station and road connections via the M11 and A406.

Our WHOTS verdict

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

75out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £1,500,000, this substantial six-bedroom detached house is priced at £473 per sq ft, 18% below the local average—a clear opportunity to acquire a large home in a sought-after Buckhurst Hill setting. The generous reception spaces, carriage driveway and established garden overlooking open fields give the project plenty to build on, while the kitchen appears clean and serviceable and the exterior broadly intact in the available views.

The improvement work is a medium-scale modernisation: several rooms have dated decoration and flooring, and the photographed bathrooms offer scope for updating. There is also potential to reconfigure the accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions and consents.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decoration and older flooring across the reception spaces and several bedrooms.
  • Modernise the photographed bathrooms while retaining the clean, serviceable-looking kitchen.
  • Make the most of the six-bedroom layout, multiple reception rooms, cellar and established garden; explore reconfiguration subject to permissions and consents.
