Description

This five-bedroom semi-detached home offers substantial accommodation across three floors, with period details and scope for updating. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a bay-fronted living room, a second lounge and a separate kitchen with access to the rear garden. Five bedrooms are arranged over the upper floors, alongside a family bathroom and an en-suite. Outside, the property has a large rear garden, driveway parking for several vehicles and a detached garage. The house has been cared for over many years and retains original character, while its finishes and fittings offer an opportunity for a new owner to modernise to their requirements. Schools, local amenities and transport links are nearby. The buyer is also responsible for a non-refundable identity and anti-money-laundering check fee after an offer is accepted.

77out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £450,000, this five-bedroom semi-detached house is priced at about £142 per sq ft, well below the local average of £264 — a strong acquisition point for a buyer looking to add value. The generous accommodation, driveway, detached garage and described extensive garden give the project plenty to build on, while the period bay windows, fireplaces and decorative mouldings add character.

The interior is usable but dated across several rooms, with scope for redecoration and new flooring; the tired en-suite and dated main bathroom offer further opportunities to refresh the house. The front elevation appears generally intact in the supplied view, and the overall works are estimated at £18,000–£38,000.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire 3,165 sq ft at a substantial discount to the local average asking price per square foot.
  • Refresh dated decoration and flooring across the photographed reception rooms and bedrooms while retaining period features such as bay windows, fireplaces and mouldings.
  • Update the tired en-suite and main bathroom, and improve the weathered rear hardstanding and steps.

Key risks

  • Apparent deterioration around the en-suite lower wall area merits investigation.
