Description
A three-bedroom semi-detached character house on the south side of Great Bookham, within half a mile of the High Street and in the Howard of Effingham school catchment. The ground floor has been extended and includes a lounge, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, family room or potential fourth bedroom, and a boot room. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. A garage is also included.
The rear garden is described as approximately 135 feet long, south-facing and overlooking National Trust countryside. The listing notes that further extension may be possible, subject to the necessary planning consents. The existing accommodation and plot offer scope to consider updating or adapting the house, with any building proposals requiring checks on planning and feasibility.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a character semi with an unusually long, established south-facing garden backing onto National Trust countryside, plus several reception spaces and an extended ground floor. The interior looks usable but dated, making it a light cosmetic project: a chance to refresh the finishes while retaining the house’s traditional character. The listing also describes potential to extend further, subject to planning consent.
At £745,000, value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The overall score is held back by that uncertainty rather than a confirmed price or condition problem.
Key opportunities
- Refresh dated décor and flooring while keeping the traditional character and ornate fireplace.
- Make the most of the long, south-facing garden, established planting and countryside outlook.
- Explore the stated potential to extend further, subject to planning consent; the family room is also described as potentially serving as bedroom four, subject to practical layout and compliance.
