Description

Step right up, folks! Are you ready for a renovation adventure?

This distressed Victorian cottage might well have you wiping your feet on the way out to begin with yet we believe that it is the perfect blank canvas for you to unleash your inner home improvement guru as you'll be stripping it right back to its bones before shaping it to your vision.

These are very rare opportunities and this is one which we believe has the potential to add significant value. It is our opinion that, renovated to a high standard, this diamond in the rough could achieve an end value of £240,000 at the time of writing (January 2023).

Don't let that cute exterior fool you, this fixer-upper will require some significant elbow grease which will at the very least include a rewire, damp investigation and remedial works, new kitchen, new bathroom, flooring and plenty of plastering to make good those internal elevations. This is by no means meant to be an exhausive list (and we are not surveyors - you'll need a good one!) but more of a guide to give you a bit more information upfront.

Initially you will also be immune from rising energy bills from the cost of living crisis as the boiler doesn't work. Mains gas is connected should you choose to make the most of this but right now, there's no operational heating system.

The rear garden faces south as such captures the sun from morning to sunset. Interestingly it has vehicular access at the rear to provide offstreet parking found from an offshoot of Beckford Road. The property derives its address from a pedestrian passage that extends from Beckford Road to the front of this terrace known as Rigby Road (not to be confused with Rigby Avenue which is found of Harwich Road Mistley). Outside there is also a very useful detached and brick built outbuilding of 4.72m x 2.36m. You may begin your tenure using this as your builder's yard but it has great potential for more useful storage or maybe conversion into an outside office - that's for you to decide.

Inside the you'll find the traditional cottage layout with a living room leading into the kitchen, and a lobby at the rear that leads outside and to the ground floor bathroom. Stairs from the kitchen lead up to a compact landing that itself provides access to the two first floor bedrooms.

Priced to sell, we're expecting this opportunity to gain immediate traction!
