Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £250,000, the guide is exceptionally low against the local average at £74 per sq ft versus £348, making this a strikingly cheap acquisition opportunity for a substantial four-bedroom, Grade II listed farmhouse of around 3,400 sq ft. Its generous rooms, period features and village setting north of York give the project a distinctive canvas, but this is a heavy full-house undertaking: several rooms show extensive ceiling and wall deterioration, peeling finishes and worn flooring, alongside a dated kitchen and bathrooms. The cause of the widespread staining needs investigating before repairs and reinstatement. As an auction, bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Use the generous rooms and substantial floor area to shape a cohesive whole-house renovation, bringing the period fireplaces, exposed beams and traditional joinery into a refreshed interior.
- The dated kitchen and bathrooms offer scope to create more functional, considered spaces as part of the wider programme.
- There is room to improve the overgrown front garden and broad paved yard, with ancillary structures adding further character to the setting.
Key risks
- Extensive ceiling and wall deterioration across several rooms, including widespread staining, needs investigation to establish the cause before finishes are repaired.
- Stripped-back finishes, damaged surfaces and worn flooring make this a heavy full-house programme; plan for a substantial sequence of investigation, repair and reinstatement rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The slate roof appears weathered, but the photographs do not establish its condition; inspect it as part of due diligence.
