19out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This two-bedroom detached bungalow at 29 Barley Croft presents an opportunity for buyers looking to make their mark on a well-maintained property. The spacious open-plan kitchen/living area invites modern living, while the two well-proportioned bedrooms offer versatility for guests or a home office. The substantial garden showcases landscaping potential, and the corner plot provides scope for future extensions, should you wish to explore that route.

However, the asking price of £289,000 comes in at £412/sqf, which is notably above the local average of £332/sqf. Coupled with renovation costs estimated between £15,000 and £30,000, the all-in cost stretches significantly against local benchmarks. This means that while the home has a solid foundation and good features, the economics may not provide the value add that many buyers hope for in a renovation project. It's essential to consider these numbers carefully before moving forward.

  • Spacious open-plan kitchen/living area suitable for modern living
  • Substantial garden with significant landscaping potential
