Confidence: MEDIUM

This four-bedroom detached house on Old Bedford Road offers a spacious family home with a well-maintained exterior and an inviting atmosphere. The generous reception areas benefit from natural light, while the well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample space for family living or a home office.

The expansive garden is a standout feature, presenting a blank canvas for landscaping and outdoor enhancements. With a large garage and extensive parking available, this property is well-equipped for family needs. While the kitchen and bathroom show signs of age, they provide an opportunity for the new owner to modernise them to their taste. At the guide price of £800,000, equating to £404/sqf, this property is priced above the local average of £374/sqf, indicating limited value add potential. However, the extensive renovation range of £50,000 to £100,000 allows for considerable scope to increase the property’s appeal. Just remember that bidding could push the final price above the guide, so it may not ultimately remain this cheap.
