Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial detached three-bedroom house with two reception rooms, front parking and a long rear garden, offering plenty of scope to reshape it as a family home. The photographs show a full-scale project: ground-floor flooring and sections of floor structure have been removed, while several rooms need substantial making-good; the kitchen and bathroom are also visibly deteriorated. The rear garden is heavily overgrown, but clearing and improving it could make better use of the generous outdoor space. The listing states that permission has been approved for a two-storey side extension, which could add further scope subject to checking the consent and feasibility.
Key opportunities
- Rework the three-bedroom, two-reception layout into a more cohesive family home, with the approved two-storey side extension offering potential to add space subject to verification.
- The stripped ground-floor areas provide scope to plan new flooring and finishes as part of a comprehensive interior scheme.
- Clear and improve the long rear garden, and make better use of the front parking and outdoor space.
Key risks
- Removed ground-floor flooring and exposed joists, debris, and deterioration across several rooms make this a full-gut programme; the £65,000–£115,000 works range calls for careful budgeting and a realistic schedule.
- The listing refers to damp as expected for the property's age and condition; check the survey findings and any recommended work.
