Description

This three-bedroom detached house is offered with no onward chain and occupies part of a larger holding of approximately 2.5 acres. The principal residence is held under its own registered title and includes around 1.5 acres; an adjoining parcel of approximately 1.25 acres is held separately and is available by separate negotiation. The house is arranged over two floors, with three double bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms and a guest WC. The principal bedroom is stated to exceed 25 square metres. The ground floor centres on an open-plan reception room with garden access and an adjoining open-plan kitchen. The description also notes underfloor heating throughout and recent refurbishment. A separate garden building is described as having planning permission for ancillary use, with potential uses including an office, gym or accommodation ancillary to the main house. The listing states that the property has an EPC rating of B and ample parking. The separate land parcel is not included in the asking price and would need to be negotiated independently. The listing refers to future strategic or development potential for that land, subject to the relevant permissions. Buyers should verify the title arrangements, the scope and status of the outbuilding consent, and the details of any land transaction with their conveyancer.

32out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The standout feature is the sense of space and privacy: the listing describes a roughly 2.5-acre holding, while the photos show generous lawns and a bright open-plan reception with large glazed openings. The house looks clean and usable, with serviceable fittings; patterned wallpaper across several rooms offers scope for a light cosmetic refresh rather than a major renovation. The vivid red kitchen cabinetry is a distinctive feature, though its style may not suit every buyer.

The asking price is the central concern: at £925,000, it is far above the local £/sqf benchmark. Even allowing for only light works, the purchase price plus a mid-to-substantial programme would remain stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of post-renovation value. The listing also describes two separate land titles, so buyers should establish exactly what is included in the quoted price.

Key opportunities

  • The generous lawns and private, open setting give the property a strong lifestyle appeal and room to make the outdoor areas your own.
  • A light redecoration could refresh the patterned wallpaper while retaining the clean, usable interiors.
  • The bright open-plan reception, large glazed openings and distinctive red kitchen cabinetry give the home an individual character to build on.

Key risks

  • The asking price is difficult to reconcile with local benchmarks for this floor area; even with light works, the purchase and improvement programme leave the overall economics stretched.
  • The listing refers to two separate registered land titles, so confirm precisely which land and rights are included with the quoted price.
  • All-in costs look stretched when the asking price sits alongside the indicated works scale — around 84% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
