Description

This three-bedroom detached country house on the edge of Almeley offers generous accommodation and scope for updating. The ground floor includes an entrance porch and hall, two reception rooms, and a kitchen/dining room with fitted units, double oven and a traditional solid-fuel Range. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete this level. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room. An additional open area on the second floor has skylights and eaves storage; any changes to its use would be subject to the relevant consents and building regulations. Outside, the property has a driveway with parking and turning space, a detached garage and a partly enclosed, partly open-fronted outbuilding. The level gardens include a wildlife pond and a former vegetable garden, with a rural outlook beyond. The house is connected to mains water and electricity, with private septic tank drainage and oil-fired heating. It is offered freehold with vacant possession. The property would benefit from updating, and any extension or other development would require planning and other relevant checks.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

77out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £400,000, The Hawthornes is priced at £227/sqf against a local average of £302/sqf, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. This characterful detached home has generous accommodation, a garden, driveway and detached outbuilding in a rural setting on the edge of Almeley.

The project is light: the photographed rooms are clean and usable, with scope to refresh older finishes and improve the weathered paving and garden presentation. The serviceable kitchen includes a traditional solid-fuel Range, while the spacious reception room and fireplaces offer character to build on. Investigate the localised discolouration visible at a second-floor roof junction to establish its cause.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh older interior finishes while retaining the traditional character and fireplaces.
  • Make the most of the garden, driveway and detached outbuilding, with scope to improve the weathered paving and outdoor presentation.
  • Build on the serviceable kitchen and its traditional solid-fuel Range rather than starting with a full kitchen replacement.

Key risks

  • Investigate the localised discolouration visible at a second-floor roof junction to determine its cause.
  • Paving and outbuilding finishes show weathering and may need attention as part of ongoing upkeep.
