Description

Webbers Property Services presents this three-bedroom terraced house in an established Barnstaple residential area, within walking distance of everyday amenities. Offered with no onward chain, it has generous accommodation and scope for modernisation and personalisation. The ground floor includes an entrance porch and hall, a separate dining room, and a living room with French doors opening onto the rear garden. The kitchen is positioned at the back of the house and has its own external door. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a shower room. Outside, the south-facing rear garden has an artificial lawn, a brick-built storage shed and access to a gated parking area. The parking area includes a carport and space for several vehicles, as well as a further timber-framed shed. There is also a lawned front garden. The property has double glazing, electric heating and solar panels; the solar panels are leased, so buyers should check the agreement and its implications with their lender. The accommodation is freehold, and the agent provides a rental estimate subject to works and legal requirements.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a usable three-bedroom home with a clear, manageable cosmetic project: older finishes and carpets, plus scope to refresh the kitchen and shower room. The £7,000–£16,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved, while the south-facing garden and gated parking for several vehicles, carport and storage make the property distinctive. The parking surface is cracked and weedy at the edges, so it is worth assessing what repairs it needs.

The score is held back by incomplete value data, not a finding that the asking price is too high: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. At 52/100, this is a weaker overall opportunity, but it offers a practical canvas for someone wanting to personalise a family home in a convenient location.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh older carpets, wall finishes and furnishings to give the living spaces and bedrooms a more current feel.
  • Update the dated kitchen and shower room as part of a manageable cosmetic project.
  • Make the most of the south-facing garden and the unusual combination of gated multi-vehicle parking, carport and storage.

Key risks

  • The parking surface is cracked and has weeds at the edges; assess the repair work needed.
  • Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
