Description

Offered with no upward chain, this three-bedroom bay-fronted period semi-detached house overlooks Eastfield Park and is within reach of local shops, Christopher Hatton Secondary School and Wellingborough railway station. The ground floor has a spacious entrance hall, a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room, garden-facing sitting room, conservatory, galley kitchen, pantry and a cloakroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a shower room. The property would benefit from updating. Outside, the plot includes a walled front garden and side and rear garden, with hardstanding, gravel and lawn areas. At the rear, a driveway of approximately 30ft by 19ft serves three detached garages. The garden also includes an underground shelter. The house is being marketed by Harwoods, who hold keys for accompanied viewings.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a light-update project with a lot of character and flexibility: the bay-fronted period house has several reception spaces, a conservatory and a good-sized plot, while the three detached garages and rear parking are especially distinctive. The photographed interiors are generally intact but dated, so there is scope to refresh decoration and flooring and modernise the finishes; the garden and garage hardstanding could also be smartened up. The visible exterior and roof appear broadly intact, with no obvious major defect in the photographs.

At £325,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet because the floor area is missing. The 51/100 D grade is therefore a weak overall opportunity rather than evidence that the asking price is dear: price and residual value remain unverified, while the house’s layout, plot and garage provision give the project clear appeal.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decoration and flooring across the photographed rooms while retaining the period character.
  • Make the most of the flexible reception layout, including the bay-fronted living room, separate dining and sitting rooms, and conservatory.
  • Improve the garden and weathered hardstanding, and investigate the potential utility of the three detached garages and rear parking.
