Description

This five-bedroom detached house in Tatsfield was designed and built in the 1970s and is being offered for sale for the first time. The accommodation includes three reception rooms, two bathrooms and a spacious entrance hall, with no onward chain stated. The ground floor has a vaulted lounge, a separate dining room connected to the conservatory, and a kitchen with access to the conservatory. Other reception space can be used for a range of purposes, including as a study or snug. Upstairs are the principal bedroom with en suite, three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a study or fifth bedroom described as a glass room, with views across the valley. The property occupies a generous plot with a landscaped garden, patio and summer house, which the listing suggests could serve as a gym, studio or office. An integral garage and driveway provide parking. The listing also notes village amenities, schools, countryside walks and road links, with Oxted rail station available for London commuting.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £800,000, this five-bedroom detached home is priced at about £309/sq ft, well below the local average of £450/sq ft—an attractive entry point for its scale. The numbers support a strong opportunity, with a light modernisation budget of roughly £9,000–£18,000 and an indicative purchase-plus-renovation midpoint of £813,500; the comparison with local average value is not a renovated GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.

The project is about refreshing rather than rescuing: several interiors have dated finishes, while the vaulted lounge, generous reception space and established garden give the home plenty of character to build on. The driveway, integral garage and flexible rooms add to its appeal as a substantial family home with scope to personalise.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes across several rooms, including flooring and décor, to give the home a more contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the vaulted lounge, multiple reception spaces and flexible study/fifth bedroom to suit family life or working from home.
  • Enhance the established garden with selective tidying around the lawn and patio, while retaining its mature planting and summer house.
