Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with no onward chain and requires modernisation throughout. Its extended ground floor currently has a front living room with a bay window, a separate dining area and an adjoining kitchen. The existing arrangement could be reconsidered to create a more open kitchen and dining space, subject to the necessary consents. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two described as doubles, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The house provides a substantial starting point for a full update, with scope to revise the layout and finishes to suit a buyer's plans. The property occupies a generous plot with a large rear garden and a detached garage. A driveway to the front and side is stated to provide off-street parking for around two to three vehicles. The listing describes nearby shops, cafes, green spaces and transport links around Ecclesall Road South, Banner Cross and Millhouses, with routes towards Sheffield city centre. The sale is freehold. The agent's SecureMove process includes a buyer information pack and searches, and asks the successful buyer to pay a non-refundable £595 reservation agreement fee, except where the seller withdraws. Buyers should review the agreement and pack and take legal advice before proceeding.

37out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This extended three-bedroom semi has a strong project canvas: a bay-fronted living room, separate dining area, generous rear garden, detached garage and parking for two to three cars. The photographed interiors are dated, with worn flooring and older finishes, while the garden needs clearing and landscaping; there is scope for a substantial modernisation and, subject to consents, a more connected kitchen and dining space.

The price is the main constraint. At £385,000, it is around 16% above the local average on a £/sqf basis, and the purchase price plus a medium-scale works programme would leave costs stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area. That comparison is with current local average values, not a forecast of the value after renovation.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom and refresh the living spaces with updated finishes and flooring.
  • Rework the living, dining and kitchen arrangement into a more connected ground-floor space, subject to feasibility and consents.
  • Clear and landscape the substantial rear garden, making better use of the plot, paved areas and detached garage.

Key risks

  • The asking price combined with a medium-scale programme of works leaves the overall outlay stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area.
  • All-in costs look stretched after allowing for the asking price and a non-cosmetic works programme — roughly 24% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
