Holcombe Close, Bathampton, BATH, Somerset, BA2

This detached two-bedroom bungalow has a usable starting point and a clear medium-scale improvement project: refresh the dated finishes, update the kitchen and retro bathroom, and tackle the tired rear garden. The conservatory, enclosed level garden, garage and allocated parking add useful features, while the loft is described as offering storage and possible future use subject to consents.

The main constraint is the price. At £400,000, the asking price is around 12% above the local £/sqf average, and adding the £30,000–£55,000 refurbishment range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area. That comparison is with the current local average, not a forecast of the value after renovation, so the project’s appeal depends on whether the home’s features and a buyer’s plans justify the premium.
