Description

Offered through the Modern Method of Auction, this detached three-bedroom house has well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, with a generous garden and views across the surrounding landscape. Buyers should note the 56-day reservation period and the non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £9,600 including VAT, payable in addition to the purchase price. The fee is considered in Stamp Duty Land Tax calculations. Prospective buyers using a mortgage are advised to check the property and its suitability with their lender before bidding. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a dual-aspect sitting room with a stone fireplace and sliding doors to the rear garden, and a separate dining room with a curved bay window. The kitchen has fitted units and connects to a large utility room. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a dressing area and en-suite bathroom, alongside a family bathroom. Outside, the rear garden is mainly lawn with mature hedging, trees and stone walling. The house also has a garage and a broad paved area to the front. It is in Baunton, north of Cirencester, with access to the town’s shops and services and Kemble station, which has rail services to London Paddington. Mains gas, water and electricity are stated, with private drainage. The established layout and dated interior finishes leave scope for a buyer to consider updating the accommodation to their requirements.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a light-refresh project with plenty to work with: spacious living areas, a stone fireplace, garden-facing windows and a generous, private-feeling garden, alongside an attached garage. The photographed interiors are usable but dated, so redecoration and updated finishes could give the house a fresher feel without an obvious major structural overhaul.

Purchase cost alone tells only part of the story — works on top of purchase push the economics into a tighter band versus area norms — around 9% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. Not necessarily a deal-breaker for a project buyer, but it caps the headline score.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the patterned wall finishes, older fittings and flooring to modernise the spacious photographed living areas.
  • Update the older-style kitchen finishes while retaining the existing fitted layout.
  • Make the most of the large garden, mature boundaries and garden outlook from the living spaces.

Key risks

  • All-in costs look tight against local benchmarks, so the asking price leaves limited room for a project buyer.
