Description

The layout includes a sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and utility, alongside three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
The property is described as needing updating, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, while offering scope for buyers to adapt the existing accommodation over time. Outside, the established gardens provide substantial outdoor space, and the detached double garage offers storage and parking.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
Lohaven has a lot to work with: a detached bungalow on a generous, established plot, with a double garage, driveway and flexible single-storey accommodation. The interior is maintained but dated in several rooms, giving a buyer scope for a medium programme of updating, including modernising the kitchen and bathroom and refreshing finishes and flooring. The visible exterior and garden look cared for, though photos cannot confirm the building’s full condition.
The main constraint is the price. At £475,000, the asking price is around 18% above the local £/sqf average, and once a mid-to-substantial programme of works is factored in, the overall outlay looks stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area. That makes the generous plot and bungalow layout appealing project features, but the numbers currently leave limited room for value creation.
Key opportunities
- The quarter-acre plot, established garden and patio offer a distinctive outdoor setting with room to improve and enjoy.
- The detached double garage and driveway add useful storage and parking alongside the bungalow’s flexible layout.
- A medium updating project can bring the dated kitchen, bathroom, wallpaper and older flooring into a more contemporary style.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding a substantial multi-room programme of improvements would leave the overall investment stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area.
