Description
This four-bedroom detached house in Derriford is offered with no onward chain. Built in the 1970s, it has two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and scope for modernisation. The main lounge and dining area opens to the south-facing rear garden, while a separate sitting room or sun lounge also has garden access. Upstairs are four bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes, alongside a family bathroom and a separate shower room. A ground-floor cloakroom and entrance porch add further accommodation.
The enclosed rear garden is mainly lawn with surrounding planted borders. At the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to a double garage with power and lighting. The property also has UPVC double glazing and warm air heating, with an EPC rating of D.

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This 1970s detached house in Derriford has a clear medium-scale modernisation canvas: dated finishes run through several rooms, while the kitchen and washrooms offer scope to review and update. The four bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, south-facing enclosed garden, broad driveway and double garage give the project useful fundamentals, and the house appears broadly usable as it stands.
At £475,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. The score is therefore a weak overall opportunity rather than a verdict that the asking price is too high; the visible appeal is in the scope to refresh a spacious home with a sizeable garden.
Key opportunities
- Refresh dated wall coverings, panelling and flooring across several rooms to give the interiors a more contemporary feel.
- Review the older kitchen and washroom finishes and decide where targeted updating or replacement would add the most value.
- Make the most of the four-bedroom layout, multiple reception spaces, south-facing garden, broad driveway and double garage.
Key risks
- A ceiling crack or joint line is visible in a bedroom; its cause and whether any repair is needed should be checked.
