Description

A three-bedroom terraced house in Godinton Park, positioned opposite a green space and within walking distance of local shops. The ground floor has an entrance porch and a generous lounge-diner, with a separate kitchen that opens directly onto the rear garden. There is also an attached garage with power and lighting, currently accessed externally; incorporating it into the house would be subject to permissions and feasibility checks. Upstairs, the split landing serves three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The property is described as needing updating, including a replacement kitchen and bathroom. Outside, the rear garden offers space for seating and planting, while the front provides parking for one vehicle. The surrounding development has local shops and services, a primary school and nearby green spaces. Ashford town centre and railway station are also accessible from the property. The house offers scope for refurbishment, with any proposed garage conversion requiring the relevant checks and approvals.

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom home has a generous lounge-diner, a garden with established planting and a setting opposite green space in Godinton Park. The dated finishes, older kitchen and stated need for a new bathroom give a buyer scope for a medium-scale, personal update, while the exterior looks generally serviceable in the available views. The asking price of £280,000 is about 6% below the local average per square foot, which is a positive; however, purchase and works costs look tight against local benchmarks, so the project’s appeal depends on managing the refurbishment carefully.

Dark staining is visible at the base of a wall and on adjacent carpet, though its cause is unclear and should be investigated. The listing also suggests the garage could potentially be incorporated into the accommodation, subject to permissions and feasibility.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decoration and flooring to give the generous lounge-diner and photographed bedrooms a more cohesive feel.
  • Replace the older kitchen and create a more practical, contemporary space with direct access to the garden.
  • Tidy the established garden planting, and explore whether the garage could be incorporated into the accommodation, subject to permissions and feasibility.

Key risks

  • Investigate the cause and extent of the dark staining at the base of a wall and on adjacent carpet before committing to the works.
