Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house in the Compton side of Efford is offered in need of modernisation. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a bay-fronted lounge with a stone fireplace, a separate dining room with sliding doors to the garden, a fitted kitchen and a WC. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, a single bedroom and a family bathroom with a bath and electric shower over.
The rear garden is a large, tiered space with lawn, mature shrubs and established planting. It would benefit from attention. Side access, a driveway and a garage provide parking and storage. The property also has electric heating and leased solar panels, with lease details available on request. Its EPC rating is D, with a stated potential rating of B.
Efford shops, bus services to Plymouth city centre, local schools and Efford Marsh nature reserve are nearby. Marsh Mills retail park and the A38 Parkway are a short drive away. Buyers should verify the solar-panel lease and other property details through their legal representative.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
62out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £220,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The dated finishes across the photographed rooms give buyers scope for a light refresh, while the bay-fronted lounge and stone fireplace offer character to retain. The driveway, garage and solar panels add useful features, though the panels are leased and the terms are worth checking.
The overgrown, tiered rear garden is a substantial part of the project: clearing it will reveal what can be made of the space and its paths and retaining edges. Overall, this is a C-grade potential opportunity, with good fundamentals and location, but only moderate economics at the asking price.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated décor and flooring across the photographed interiors while retaining features such as the lounge’s stone fireplace.
- Clear and assess the large, tiered rear garden, then shape it into a more usable outdoor space.
- Acquire below the local average per square foot, with a driveway, garage and leased solar panels already in place.
