Summary - Bilson House, Valley Road GL14 2NY
Detached semi cottage with character features and exposed beams
Very large plot with garage, outbuilding and mature leylandii trees
Two double bedrooms, sitting room, fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom
Sold freehold but marketed to cash purchasers only
Property largely dated; requires refurbishment and external maintenance
Solid brick walls assumed; likely needs insulation and energy upgrades
Low ceilings in parts; loft access from bedroom two
Located in a very deprived area; broadband and mobile average
A semi-detached cottage on a very large plot offering clear scope for improvement and value uplift. The property retains character features — exposed beams, latch doors, and a stone feature fireplace — and includes practical assets such as a detached garage, attached outbuilding and double glazing. Sold freehold with gas central heating, it will suit buyers comfortable with renovation and outdoor work.
Internally the layout is traditional: sitting room, fitted kitchen and ground-floor bathroom, with two double bedrooms upstairs. Room proportions are generous for a two‑bed home (approx. 2,702 sq ft overall), but many finishes are dated and the house will need updating — cosmetic refurbishment and likely improvement of thermal performance given assumed solid brick walls with no insulation.
Important negatives are straightforward: the property is marketed for cash purchasers only, reflecting condition and potential mortgage lender requirements. The building shows signs of external maintenance needs (guttering, garden upkeep) and low ceilings in places; broadband, mobile signal and local services are average and the wider area is classified as very deprived. These factors should be weighed against the price and plot potential.
This is a practical opportunity for a renovator, investor or buyer seeking a character cottage with scope to add value. With no onward chain and a large garden, it offers flexibility — extend, refurbish, or create a rental income — subject to any necessary consents and a full condition survey.
