Description
This freehold two-bedroom terraced house is offered with no onward chain and requires refurbishment and modernisation. The ground floor has a living and dining area, a separate kitchen and an additional room beyond the kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. A rear garden provides outdoor space, while the traditional layout and existing accommodation offer scope to update the property, subject to inspection and any necessary consents.
The house is in a central Chippenham location, within reach of town-centre shops, cafés, restaurants and other everyday amenities. Chippenham railway station is nearby, with connections to London Paddington, Bath, Bristol and Swindon. John Coles Park, Monkton Park and the River Avon are also accessible. The title documents and searches are available from Sail Homes on request.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
72out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £130,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced at about £130 per sq ft, well below the local average of £352 per sq ft. That is a strong acquisition opportunity for someone looking to take on a substantial project, rather than a cosmetic refresh. The connected living and dining space, additional room beyond the kitchen and rear garden give scope to reshape and personalise the house and improve its outdoor space.
The photographs show deterioration across several rooms, including worn or unfinished floors, marked finishes and a poor-condition kitchen and bathroom; the garden and outbuilding also need attention. The asking price is attractive, but the scale of the work calls for a carefully planned full interior programme. The overall WHOTS score is 72/100, grade B: a good opportunity, supported by strong price and economics, with the condition work the main constraint.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at about £130 per sq ft against a local average of £352 per sq ft, creating a strong entry point for a renovation project.
- Rework the connected living and dining area and make use of the additional room beyond the kitchen to tailor the ground-floor layout.
- Refresh the rear garden and deteriorated outbuilding to make better use of the outdoor space.
Key risks
- Worn floors and deteriorated finishes across several rooms, alongside a poor-condition kitchen and bathroom, point to a full interior rebuild programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for substantial time and careful project management.
- The rear garden and outbuilding are in poor visible condition and will add to the scope of the project.
