Description

Nestled at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac in the charming village of Shurdington, this well-loved three-bedroom bungalow is hitting the market for the first time since its construction in 1958. Offered with no onward chain, this property presents an excellent renovation opportunity, with potential for conversion and extension, subject to planning permission. A recent boiler replacement and a modern family shower room add to its appeal. The property is set back from the road, featuring an attractive driveway bordered by a central lawn. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall leading to a generous bay-fronted sitting room, which boasts lovely views of the surrounding hills and countryside. The principal bedroom also features a large bay window and ample wardrobe space, while the rear of the house hosts a sizable kitchen/dining area with garden views, equipped with wall and base units, space for appliances, and a walk-in larder. Completing the layout are two additional good-sized double bedrooms. The contemporary family shower room has been stylishly remodeled in recent years, providing built-in storage and a walk-in shower. The home benefits from double glazing and gas central heating throughout. Externally, the rear garden is larger than average and south-west facing, having been professionally landscaped. It features a lush lawn, attractive paved areas, and a variety of mature plants, along with a summer house and greenhouse. The property also offers ample parking space on the driveway and an integral garage. Conveniently located just three miles from Cheltenham town centre, Lambert Gardens is well-served by public transport links and is close to local amenities, including Shurdington Primary School, village stores, and public houses.

30out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom bungalow in Shurdington presents a solid renovation project, set in a desirable cul-de-sac with a mature garden that adds significant outdoor appeal. While the interior is dated, the property boasts a recent contemporary shower room and a good-sized kitchen/dining area, offering a canvas for modern improvements. With potential for extension or conversion (subject to planning), this home could transform into a highly desirable residence in a sought-after location.

However, the asking price of £425,000 at £454/sqf is notably above the local average of £347/sqf, resulting in a poor value opportunity. Furthermore, when factoring in renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, the all-in cost strains against local benchmarks, making it a challenging economic prospect. This could limit your margin for future value gains, especially in a fluctuating market. Thus, while the property offers a great opportunity for those willing to invest in renovation, potential buyers should carefully consider the financial implications before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Potential for extension or conversion (subject to planning permission)
  • Generous, professionally landscaped garden with mature plants
  • Good-sized kitchen/dining room with scope for modernisation

Key risks

  • Asking price is significantly above local average, straining renovation budget and future value potential.
  • Expect total exposure near £485,000 once the asking price and an estimated £60,000 of refurbishment are combined — around 33% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
