Description

Ben Rose Estate Agents present a six-bedroom detached house built in 1907, offered for sale with no onward chain. Arranged over three floors, the property retains original character features and offers substantial accommodation for a buyer planning a comprehensive modernisation. The house stands within a plot of approximately 0.8 acres, reached by a mature, tree-lined driveway, with extensive outdoor space and scope to adapt the property to individual requirements. The entrance hall leads to a reception hall and a workshop area. The ground floor includes a formal dining room with original wood panelling and a bay window, a large lounge with a feature fireplace, and a conservatory overlooking the grounds. The kitchen has two walk-in pantries and connects to a separate utility room. Four bedrooms are arranged on the first floor, alongside a family bathroom and separate WC. Two further bedrooms occupy the second floor, including one with a dressing room. The generous room sizes and three-storey layout provide options for reconfiguration, subject to the buyer's requirements. Outside, the driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to lawned gardens framed by mature trees. Two garages sit to the rear, one with a storage room, utility area and WC. The property is in Leyland, close to local shops, schools and leisure facilities, with further amenities in Chorley and Preston. Leyland station and the M6, M61 and M65 provide connections across the wider area.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £695,000, this substantial six-bedroom detached house is priced at £201/sqf, below the local average of £230/sqf—a useful opportunity to acquire a large period property at a comparatively low price per square foot. Its generous rooms, original timber details, mature grounds and extensive driveway give the project plenty of character and scope. The interiors are dated across several areas, and visible cracking and deteriorating exterior render need investigation; the main roof condition cannot be established from the images.

This is a heavy, whole-house project rather than a cosmetic refresh, but it offers the chance to reshape and modernise a sizeable 1907 home while retaining its period character. The score is tempered by the limited economic headroom against the local average, so the value will depend on managing the work carefully.

Key opportunities

  • Rework and modernise the substantial three-storey accommodation, with large reception rooms and bedrooms providing a strong canvas for a family home.
  • Retain and bring out the original timber doors, panelling and fireplaces while updating the dated finishes throughout.
  • Make the most of the mature grounds, extensive driveway and generous plot with considered garden and exterior improvements.

Key risks

  • Dated finishes across several rooms, older kitchen and bathroom fittings, and deteriorating floor coverings point to a substantial full-interior programme; allow for a longer, more involved project than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Visible cracking in an upper-floor room and on kitchen surfaces, together with deteriorating exterior render and exposed brickwork, require investigation; the main roof condition is not clear from the images.
