Description
Offered with no onward chain, this ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette provides approximately 723 sq ft of accommodation and is described as requiring complete modernisation. The existing arrangement includes a bay-fronted living room, a double bedroom, a bathroom and an open-plan kitchen and dining area. The listing notes scope to improve or reconfigure the space, subject to any necessary consents.
The property also has private rear and side garden space, together with a front garden. It is on a residential road in West Wimbledon, within reach of Raynes Park station, local shops and cafés, and Wimbledon Village. Nearby schools include Hollymount Primary School. The accommodation and outdoor areas offer scope for a refurbishment project.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £400,000, this 721 sq ft maisonette is priced at £555/sq ft, around 21% below the local average — a clear acquisition advantage for a buyer prepared to take on a heavy project. The 54/100 D grade reflects the limited overall economics and the scale of work, despite that strong price position.
There is scope to reshape the generous accommodation and create a home tailored to your taste, with a bay-fronted living room and private front, rear and side garden areas adding character and potential. The photographed interiors show extensive damage and wear across several rooms, and the garden also needs attention; the roof coverings cannot be reliably assessed from the available views.
Key opportunities
- Use the generous 721 sq ft footprint to improve or reconfigure the layout, subject to the usual consents.
- Restore the bay-fronted living room and make the private front, rear and side garden areas part of a coherent home and outdoor setting.
- Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes and refresh damaged walls, ceilings and flooring to create a consistent interior.
Key risks
- Extensively damaged finishes across several rooms point to a heavy programme: plan for a full interior rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh, with time and budget for the garden works too.
- The economics are only moderate: after the indicated works, the margin against the implied current local average value is limited, before fees and other purchase costs.
- Roof coverings cannot be assessed reliably from the available photographs; inspect them and investigate the visible staining before committing.
