A new year brings new motivation, and so makes the perfect time to start a project you've been dreaming about. Do you imagine transforming an old home with "good bones" into a stylish oasis of your own design? Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a savvy first-time buyer, here are some homes ready for you to work your magic.
5 bed, part-built home in Guildford
A project to showcase your style
Foxtons Auctions aren’t only for the aspiring renovator, many modern family homes and upscale apartments have enjoyed a quick purchase through our dedicated team. However, this part-finished five-bed home is at possibly the best time to jump in on a new-build project; the groundwork has already been laid, so you can focus on finishing it to your own specifications.
Then, you’ll own a customised, expansive three-storey detached house and a 90’ landscaped garden, near the amenities and transport links in the picturesque commuter town of Guildford.

This auction property has all the hallmarks of a great renovation project. It is a remarkably spacious ground-floor, two-bed flat with a large cellar and a substantial rear garden. In a renovation, you can make use of the coveted high ceilings and period features to add character to your design.

3 bed house in Horsell
A project with permission to extend
This is a hugely popular renovation project, ears always prick up when we mention "potential to extend." Potential to extend allows flexibility for growing families and promises added value to your investment. The best part? This semi-detatched Horsell home already has planning permission granted. It’s a great space – 2 floors, three bedrooms, 140’ private garden and in easy reach of Woking town centre.

This modernisation project resides on one of Barnsbury’s most popular residential roads, just around the corner to Upper Street, the beating heart of Islington with many of its best amenities. This sizable maisonette has two bedrooms, high ceilings and a large private garden.

A blank canvas project

5 bed detached home in Brixton
A renovator's dream project
We think this might have been a developer’s house when they were building the houses on Brixton Hill, because it is absolutely one of a kind. It needs lots of work, but once restored to its former glory, it’ll be a crowning achievement for the committed renovator. Character fills the spacious kitchen, reception room, double reception room, conservatory and five bedrooms. This family home is complete with a sizable back and side garden.

4 bed terraced home in Kensal Green
A project for an easy commute
This spacious four-bed home for renovation is situated a 5-minute’s amble from Willesden Junction, so it would provide a family with easy access to the city. If you’re renovating as an investment property, the location is a strong selling point. For reference, Willesden Junction is 30 minutes on the Bakerloo line to Bond Street, as well as 21 minutes to Clapham Junction and 17 minutes to Euston on the Overground.

There is something so iconic about the classic tree-lined street of period terraced homes. And a property on this popular street of Vauxhall Victorians is an excellent find. This big renovation project will result in home boasting plenty of space, a great location and all the benefits of Victorian design – high ceilings, feature fireplaces, bay-fronted windows – customised to suit your style.
