Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom terraced house offers a fantastic opportunity for those looking to acquire a property in a sought-after village location. Priced at £270,000, this asking amount is notably below the local average of £334/sqf, making it an attractive purchase for first-time buyers or investors willing to take on a project. The property requires significant refurbishment, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, along with general decoration throughout. However, this provides a blank canvas for future owners to create a home tailored to their tastes.

The living area and bedrooms show signs of wear and are in need of redecoration, but the potential for improvement is clear. The exterior and rear garden are in good condition, offering ample space for enhancement, including the possibility of off-road parking subject to consent. With a renovation budget estimated between £40,000 to £80,000, this project holds promise for adding value, especially considering the low entry price relative to the local market. Overall, while the property requires work, it stands out as a solid opportunity to create a desirable family home.
