A substantial five-bedroom detached house on Cowley Mill Road offering clear scope for refurbishment and rental or resale uplift. At 1,302 sq ft with a rear garden and traditional brick façade, the property suits investors or developers seeking a mid-20th-century home to modernise and reposition in the UB8 market.
Accommodation includes a lounge, kitchen, two bathrooms/WC and five bedrooms across two storeys. Services and connectivity are strong—excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—supporting multiple occupation or family rental demand. The site is freehold but set on a small plot, so any extension potential should be checked with planning.
Key positives are the sizeable room count, garden space and proximity to good local schools and bus links, appealing to commuters and family tenants. Material drawbacks: the house requires modernization throughout, the surrounding area records higher crime levels, and a buyer’s premium applies to secure the purchase. These factors affect carrying costs and timing for refurbishment.
This is a straightforward, practical opportunity for a buyer comfortable with renovation work and short-term investment management. Inspectors and developers should factor renovation costs, local crime environment, and the buyer’s premium into valuations before proceeding.
