Description

A detached property on Wood Street, previously configured as a two-bedroom house and later used as a doctor's surgery. The accommodation is described as including a reception area, several consulting rooms, a kitchen area and a shower room, with a rear extension. The property is offered with no onward chain and has off-road parking accessed from a rear alleyway. The owner is seeking planning permission for conversion into two dwellings; any alternative use or conversion remains subject to the necessary consents. Local amenities and Chelmsford city centre are nearby.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

40out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached former surgery is an unusual Chelmsford project, with a rear extension, off-road parking and a large hard-surfaced rear area to consider as part of a scheme. The exterior and paving look weathered, but the available views show the roof broadly intact; the interior condition cannot be assessed from the photos provided.

The listing says the owner is seeking planning to create two dwellings, but no permission or approved plans are provided, so that potential needs to be verified. At £500,000, the missing floor area means value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The overall WHOTS score is 40/100 (E), with limited economics data holding back the opportunity assessment.

Key opportunities

  • Explore the potential conversion into two dwellings, subject to confirming planning status and feasibility.
  • The detached building and rear extension provide a distinctive starting point for reworking the layout.
  • Consider how the rear hard-surfaced area and off-road parking could fit into a confirmed scheme.

Key risks

None recorded.
