Description

Designed by architect Hilary Duke-Woolley, this detached modernist house provides five bedrooms and more than 2,400 sq ft of mainly single-storey accommodation, set within gardens of approximately three-quarters of an acre. The property is positioned off a quiet lane near Lymington, with the town centre and coastal walking routes within reach. The accommodation includes a hall, dining room with built-in storage, kitchen and breakfast room, rear hall, store and utility room. The sitting room has a vaulted ceiling and wood-burning stove, and connects to a garden room overlooking the grounds. A separate corridor leads to four double bedrooms, one single bedroom, a bathroom, shower room and separate WC. A detached garage building has an internal staircase to a first-floor room and a ground-floor WC. Outside, a private drive leads to a turning and parking area, with level lawn and mature planting. The existing layout could be remodelled, while a more extensive redevelopment is also suggested by the listing; any such proposals would require feasibility checks and relevant consents. The house has electric heating, mains services and an EPC rating of F.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a distinctive modernist home in a sought-after Lymington setting, with 0.75 acres of established, level gardens, generous glazing and a vaulted sitting room. The photographed interiors look generally usable but dated, giving a buyer scope to refresh finishes and consider a broader remodelling; the kitchen and blue-mosaic shower room are particularly characterful starting points. The renovation range is £45,000–£90,000, with the roof coverings worth inspecting as part of the project.

Worth weighing the all-in picture: the quoted refurb range (£67,500) on top of the asking price brings all-in exposure close to £1,417,500, about 16% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size. That is why the overall grade stays low; we have not forecast value after improvement.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated but generally intact interiors while retaining the distinctive modernist character and large glazed areas.
  • Make the most of the 0.75-acre level grounds, mature trees and established planting.
  • Explore remodelling the existing accommodation to suit a new owner; any more ambitious scheme would need its own feasibility checks.

Key risks

  • The asking price plus the stated refurbishment range leaves costs stretched against the local benchmark for a house of this floor area, limiting the apparent value opportunity.
  • The flat or shallow-pitched roof coverings look weathered in the images, and their condition needs inspection.
  • Plan on something close to £1,417,500 before you finish, with refurbishment in the region of £67,500, about 16% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size; post-works value sits outside our data.
