Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial restoration project in a striking Grade II Listed manor house, with a four-floor layout, multiple rooms and the character of a building dating to around 1750. The photographs show severe deterioration across several rooms, including damaged ceilings and walls, exposed timber and worn floors, alongside a neglected garden. That gives a buyer scope to reshape and restore the interiors, improve the kitchen and bathroom, and bring the grounds back into use—but this is a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. Temporary-looking supports and exposed timber need close investigation, and listed-building constraints will shape what can be changed.
The £250,000 guide price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf values because the floor area is missing. This is being sold by auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level. The WHOTS score is low overall, with the scale of the works weighing heavily; the building’s character and potential remain the project’s appeal.
Key opportunities
- Restore the historic frontage and multi-floor interior, using the building’s character as the basis for a distinctive finished property.
- Rework the multiple rooms and four-floor arrangement to suit a considered end use, subject to listed-building requirements and any necessary consents.
- Renew the visibly worn kitchen and bathroom and reclaim the overgrown garden and hardstanding as part of a whole-property transformation.
Key risks
- Severely damaged interiors, exposed timber and visible debris point to a full interior rebuild; plan for a demanding programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Temporary-looking supports and exposed timber need investigation; the photographs do not confirm the condition of concealed structure, roof, masonry or joinery.
- The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed.
