Description

This three-bedroom terraced house offers accommodation over three floors, including a ground-floor lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom and a lean-to used for utility and storage. Two double bedrooms are on the first floor, with a further loft room providing additional flexible space. The property requires renovation, and the listing reports damp affecting parts of the ground and first floors. The vendor is arranging removal of the chimney stack in an attempt to address the moisture source; buyers should establish the cause and scope of any further remedial work and allow for drying time. The house is in a village setting within walking distance of the primary school, with Whitehaven and Egremont a short drive away. It may suit a buyer prepared to refurbish and specify the home to their own requirements.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The 44/100 (E) score reflects a heavy project with important value data still missing, rather than a judgement that the asking price is expensive: floor area is missing from the valuation data, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. There is a substantial canvas here, with a spacious lounge/diner, generous accommodation over three floors and a loft room to shape into a characterful home. The dated kitchen and bathroom, worn finishes and wall discolouration offer scope to make the house your own; the listing says damp affects parts of two floors, and the chimney stack is being removed in the hope of addressing its source.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the spacious lounge/diner and the accommodation across three floors to create a more cohesive home.
  • Replace the dated timber kitchen and panelling, and update the distinctive older bathroom finishes to your own specification.
  • Use the loft room and the shown fitted wardrobes as part of a characterful, practical layout.

Key risks

  • Damp is stated to affect parts of two floors, and visible wall staining needs investigating; the chimney removal is intended to address the source but the outcome is not yet confirmed.
  • The £35,000–£65,000 works range makes this a substantial renovation programme, with time and budget needed for damp investigation and drying as well as replacing finishes—not a cosmetic refresh.
