Description

The property has gas central heating with a combi boiler, double glazing and a floored loft space. Outside, there is a small front garden and an enclosed rear garden with lawn, raised beds and sheds.

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £265,000, this substantial detached stone house is priced at about £128/sq ft, well below the local average of £232/sq ft — a strong opportunity to acquire a large home at a low entry price. Its walking-distance-to-centre location, generous accommodation and enclosed garden give the project plenty to build on.
The works are a clear value-add: the dated kitchen and bathroom, worn or incomplete flooring, and stripped or patched finishes across several rooms offer scope to rework the interiors to your taste. The supplied exterior views show no obvious major roof or structural issue, though the garden sheds and hardstanding look weathered. The renovation range is £42,000–£78,000; the engine’s £325,000 midpoint-based total is below the implied local average value, but that comparison is not a GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated kitchen, including the unfinished wall and service areas, to suit a new layout and finish.
- Refresh the bathroom and update flooring and decoration across the visibly tired interiors.
- Make the most of the large detached house’s generous accommodation and improve the enclosed garden, including its weathered hardstanding and sheds.
Key risks
- Staining or discolouration is visible near the shower; its cause and extent need checking.
