Confidence: LOW

This beautifully presented 2-bedroom detached bungalow offers a great living space with a large triple aspect lounge/kitchen diner that opens up to a secluded rear garden. The modern kitchen and bathroom are standout features, providing an excellent foundation for comfortable living. While the asking price of £700,000 translates to £875/sqf, which is significantly above the local average of £446/sqf, the quality of the interior finishes and the generous layout still present an attractive canvas for prospective buyers looking to invest in a desirable location close to Sawbridgeworth High Street.

The property's good overall condition, coupled with the spacious bedrooms and modern amenities, makes it a compelling option despite the high price per square foot. With the right vision, there is potential to enhance the existing features further, especially in the garden area, which is perfect for outdoor entertaining. However, buyers should be mindful of the pricing dynamics in the local market as they consider their offer.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious triple aspect lounge/kitchen diner with bi-folding doors to the garden, ideal for entertaining.
