Description
This two-bedroom home is close to Grosvenor and Hilbert Park and includes a rear garden with a patio, a shed and a summer house. The ground floor has an entrance hall, living room and kitchen/diner, with a boot room connecting the kitchen to the garden and bathroom. The kitchen has white units, a granite-effect worktop, cooker, fridge freezer and space for a washing machine. The bathroom has a bath with an electric shower over, basin and WC.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms of similar size, one with a fitted wardrobe. The garden is mainly lawn with a patio, while the shed and summer house are described as having power and lighting and could serve as workspace or hobby areas. The listing identifies scope to modernise, giving buyers the option to update the interiors to their own requirements.

Confidence: MEDIUM
The useful draw here is the generous rear garden and its powered summer house and shed, alongside a home office and a location close to Grosvenor & Hilbert Park. The house looks liveable, with scope for a light cosmetic refresh: dated finishes, older flooring and some garden clearing offer a straightforward way to put your own stamp on it.
The price is the sticking point. At £325,000, the asking price is about 18% above the local average per square foot, and even a light-to-moderate programme of improvements would leave the purchase and works costs stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this size. That makes this a weaker-value project despite its useful extras.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated finishes and flooring to give the usable living spaces a more cohesive, contemporary feel.
- Clear and rework the overgrown garden, making better use of its size, patio and existing summer house and shed.
- Make the most of the home office and powered outbuildings for work, hobbies or garden use.
Key risks
- The asking price is already above the local £/sqf benchmark, and adding a programme of improvements leaves the overall cost position stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area.
- Purchase plus the works band looks tight when the asking price sits alongside the indicated works scale — around 18% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
