Confidence: MEDIUM

This extended detached family home offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to acquire a spacious property at a notably cheap asking price of £675,000, which is 26.8% below the local average of £501/sqf. The current price per square foot stands at £367, making this an attractive proposition for buyers aiming to create value through renovation. The home is presented with no onward chain, adding to its appeal for potential buyers.

While the interior is dated and requires updating across multiple rooms, including the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen, this presents a canvas for transformation. The property boasts a generous layout with three reception rooms, a spacious entrance hall, and ample bedroom space, including one with an en-suite. There’s potential to enhance the internal layout further by modernizing the kitchen and possibly reconfiguring the bedroom spaces. The garden, while needing maintenance, offers additional outdoor potential, making this property a smart investment in a good location with convenient access to local amenities and greenbelt countryside.
