Greetwell Road, Lincoln, LN2

Greetwell Road is a traditional bay fronted 1930s semi-detached property offering a fantastic investment opportunity for those looking to unlock its full potential. With approximately 866 sq ft of space, the layout includes a welcoming hallway, two generous reception rooms, and a separate kitchen leading to the rear garden. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC, offering ample space for a growing family once renovated.

The house sits on a sizable plot with a long rear garden, currently overgrown but holding excellent potential for landscaping or extension (subject to planning). Internally, the property requires a complete overhaul, including plastering, some window replacements, and full modernisation, but benefits from a heating system with a fairly new boiler already in place.

With a guide price of £190,000 - £200,000 and an anticipated resale value of around £290,000 when fully restored, this is a prime project for builders and investors seeking to add significant value. Positioned in a well-connected Lincoln location, it’s ready for a full transformation into a stunning home.

Entrance Halll

4.22m x 2.11m (13'10" x 6'11")

The entrance hall offers a traditional 1930s layout with a staircase rising to the first floor and doors leading to the main reception rooms. Currently in a state of disrepair, the hall has worn flooring, damaged plasterwork, and clutter that needs clearing. With renovation, this space has the potential to become a welcoming and characterful entrance, setting the tone for the rest of the home and creating a bright, inviting first impression.

Living Room

4.32m x 3.78m (14'2" x 12'5")

The living room is a bright and spacious bay-fronted space, typical of a 1930s home, with large windows flooding the room with natural light. While currently tired and cluttered, the room has great proportions and original features waiting to be restored or modernised. The walls and ceiling show signs of wear and will probably need plastering and redecorating, and the flooring is in need of complete replacement. With renovation, this could become a stunning main reception room, perfect for family living or entertaining.

Dining Room

3.64m x 3.49m (11'11" x 11'5")

The dining room is a good-sized rear-facing space with sliding doors opening onto the overgrown garden, allowing in plenty of natural light. The room currently features an outdated gas fire with surround, worn carpets, and visible signs of age and disrepair. Once renovated, it has excellent potential to become a bright and inviting dining or family room, ideal for entertaining or opening up into a modern kitchen-diner layout, depending on the buyer’s vision.

Kitchen

2.41m x 2.28m (7'11" x 7'6")

The kitchen is a compact and dated space in need of full refurbishment, currently fitted with old units and a freestanding cooker beneath a worn extractor hood. The walls show signs of damp and peeling surfaces, and several cupboards are damaged or missing altogether. A window looks out to the side, allowing some natural light, and there’s a door leading to a rear lean-to or outbuilding area. This space offers a great opportunity for redesign and modernisation, with plenty of potential to reconfigure or extend, subject to planning.

Landing

3.16m x 1.09m (10'4" x 3'7")

The landing is a light-filled space with a side window bringing in natural daylight and doors leading to all three bedrooms, the bathroom, and separate WC. The area currently shows significant signs of wear, with peeling paint, old carpets, and tired plasterwork. Once refreshed, this central space has the potential to become a bright and functional connector between the upstairs rooms, enhancing the flow and appeal of the upper floor.

Bedroom 1

3.52m x 3.5m (11'7" x 11'6")

Bedroom 1 is a spacious double room positioned at the front of the house, with a large window bringing in plenty of natural light. The room currently has tired décor, worn flooring, and signs of cracks in the walls that will need attention. Once renovated, it offers great potential as a bright and comfortable principal bedroom, with ample space for freestanding or built-in wardrobes and bedroom furnishings.

Bedroom 2

3.66m x 2.98m (12'0" x 9'9")

Bedroom 2 is a generously sized double room overlooking the rear garden, currently fitted with old built-in wardrobes and a decorative fireplace. The room shows visible signs of wear, including cracks to the ceiling and walls, and will require a full cosmetic overhaul. With renovation, it offers excellent space for a comfortable second bedroom, with plenty of natural light and great potential for fitted or freestanding storage.

Bedroom 3

2.54m x 2.4m (8'4" x 7'10")

Bedroom 3 is a compact single room positioned at the front of the house, currently used as a small bedroom or study space. It features a front-facing window that brings in natural light, but the décor and finishes are dated and in need of full updating. With renovation, this room would make an ideal child’s bedroom, home office, or dressing room, adding flexibility to the overall accommodation.

Bathroom

2.2m x 1.56m (7'3" x 5'1")

The current bathroom and separate WC sit side by side on the first floor, both in dated condition and in need of full renovation. By knocking through and combining these two spaces, there’s excellent potential to create a larger, modern family bathroom with room for a full suite and contemporary fittings. This adjustment would significantly enhance the functionality and appeal of the upstairs layout, adding real value to the renovation project.

WC

1.35m x 0.77m (4'5" x 2'6")

The WC is currently a separate, narrow room next to the bathroom, with a small rear window and basic fittings. Like the bathroom, it’s in tired condition and would benefit from a complete renovation. By knocking through and combining this WC with the adjacent bathroom, there’s excellent potential to create a larger, modern family bathroom that better suits today’s living standards and adds value to the home.

Outside

Garden

The rear garden is a surprisingly generous space, stretching well beyond the current overgrowth and offering fantastic potential once cleared. At present, the garden is completely overgrown, with dense vegetation obscuring its true size and shape, but beneath it lies a blank canvas ready for landscaping or redesign. Once brought back under control, it could provide a wonderful family garden, entertaining area, or even scope for extension (subject to planning). It’s a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered and transformed.

Driveway & Garage

The driveway at the side of the property is narrow and currently overgrown, making it impractical for regular vehicle access to the garage at the rear. As a result, the garage is realistically only suitable for storage or as a workshop space rather than parking. With some clearance, the front and side areas could still offer useful outside space, but the real value lies in the sizeable rear garden and overall renovation potential.
