Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dunbeg has a flexible layout, including an open-plan lounge and dining room, a ground-floor bedroom and shower room, and two further double bedrooms upstairs. A separate store room provides additional storage and could serve as a compact home office, subject to suitability. The kitchen is described as modern and is fitted with wall and base units, work surfaces, an electric hob, extractor and integrated microwave, with space for other appliances. The lounge and dining area has windows to both the front and rear. The property also has double glazing and off-peak electric storage heating. The listing states an EPC rating of E43 and council tax band C. Gardens extend around the front, side and rear, with lawns, established planting, paths, a greenhouse and garden sheds. Residents' parking is available nearby. A cycle path and bus stop connect the village with Oban, around three miles away. Dunbeg has a general store, primary school and hairdressers, with other local facilities and Dunstaffnage Castle also nearby. The property is presented as a renovation opportunity, with scope to update the accommodation and outdoor areas.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a light renovation project with a flexible three-bedroom layout, including a ground-floor bedroom and shower room, plus a generous corner plot with established gardens, greenhouse and sheds. The main scope is refreshing dated decoration and finishes, improving the worn flooring and tidying the overgrown planting; the photographed exterior looks broadly intact. The works estimate is £6,500–£13,000.

The score is E (49/100), so this is a lower-opportunity result overall. Floor area is missing, which means value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the purchase and renovation midpoint is £194,750, but without floor area or a stated GDV, the resale economics remain unclear.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated wall coverings and finishes, and improve the marked or unfinished flooring across the photographed rooms.
  • Make use of the flexible layout, including a ground-floor bedroom and shower room.
  • Tidy and enhance the established gardens, with a greenhouse and sheds already in place.
