Attention investors: this three-bedroom semi-detached house on Bretton Drive is a clear refurbishment opportunity with strong rental or resale potential once updated. The layout is practical — a large open-plan living and dining room, kitchen overlooking a private rear garden, downstairs WC and three upstairs bedrooms (two doubles and one very large single). The property is freehold and occupies about 969 sq ft, built in the late 1960s/early 1970s.
Key technical positives reduce immediate costs: mains gas boiler with radiators, double glazing fitted after 2002, garage and driveway parking for multiple vehicles, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The home sits in a low-crime, small-town fringe location within walking distance of shops, schools and public transport — useful for tenants or future buyers.
Important drawbacks are clear and will affect budgets and timelines. The house needs renovation throughout (cosmetic and likely mechanical upgrades), has an EPC rating of E and partial insulation in timber-frame walls (assumed). There is a single family bathroom and downstairs WC only; the surrounding area is classified as very deprived which may affect achievable rents and resale values. Buyers should allow for general modernisation, potential insulation improvement and an EPC uplift programme.
For the right investor or developer this is a straightforward value-add project: solid footprint, private garden, parking and nearby amenities make it rentable quickly after sensible refurbishment. Be realistic about remedial works and budget accordingly to unlock the property’s full income or resale potential.
