The corner plot includes an enclosed rear garden, mainly laid to lawn, with additional outdoor space. The property is offered with no onward chain and is described as requiring modernisation, giving buyers scope to update the accommodation to their requirements.
The sale is through the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should review the reservation agreement and information pack, and account for the stated reservation fee and pack preparation cost in addition to the purchase price. The listing notes a 56-day completion period, subject to the auction terms.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £225,000, this substantial four-bedroom semi has a clear medium-scale updating opportunity: the photographed living spaces and bedrooms look spacious and light, while older finishes, the dated kitchen and wash facilities, and an overgrown enclosed garden give scope to make it your own. The corner plot and no onward chain add to the appeal. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the overall WHOTS score is 51/100, grade D, reflecting that uncertainty alongside the project’s moderate condition and economics.
Key opportunities
- Update the dated kitchen and wash facilities to give the home a more cohesive, contemporary feel.
- Refresh carpets, decoration and basic finishes across the photographed living spaces and bedrooms.
- Clear and improve the enclosed rear garden, making better use of the corner plot’s outdoor space.
Key risks
- The separate shower room has visible discolouration or soiling around the shower base; inspect and establish the cause.
- The upper timber cladding looks weathered and needs closer inspection.
