Description
This three-bedroom home has a traditional layout with two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and pantry, and a family bathroom. The front lounge has a bay window and decorative ceiling details, while the dining room opens to the rear garden through French doors. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a bay-fronted principal room, and a bathroom. The property is being sold subject to probate.
The house requires refurbishment, with exposed timber floorboards across much of the accommodation and scope to update the kitchen and bathroom. Both gardens need clearance and landscaping; the rear garden is approximately 30ft by 20ft. The existing arrangement of separate reception rooms and the pantry offers options to consider as part of a renovation, subject to any necessary consents.
WHOTS analysis

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £315,000, this three-bedroom home offers a characterful medium-scale refurbishment project, with two reception rooms, bay windows and decorative cornicing providing a strong starting point. The dated fittings and worn floorboards leave scope to reshape the interiors to your taste, while clearing and landscaping the overgrown rear garden could make better use of its outdoor space.
The overall score is a weak opportunity rather than a clear value-led buy: the floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The visible roof and front elevation appear generally intact, though their full condition cannot be confirmed.
Key opportunities
- Retain and complement the bay windows, decorative cornicing and ceiling details as the interiors are refreshed.
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom to suit the next owner's style.
- Clear and landscape the rear garden, then assess whether the exposed timber boards can be repaired and finished.
Key risks
- The exposed floorboards show widespread wear, staining and some gaps or uneven-looking sections; their condition and the extent of remedial work need checking.
- The rear garden is heavily overgrown, obscuring much of the ground and boundaries until it is cleared.
