Markan Road, Idmiston, Wiltshire, SP4

This detached bungalow has a useful project canvas: a spacious dual-aspect living room with a stone fireplace, an integral garage and driveway, and an established tiered garden with patio and lawn. The photographed finishes are generally intact but dated, so the main scope is cosmetic updating, redecoration and garden maintenance rather than an evident major rebuild. The kitchen’s timber-effect units and tiled splashbacks give it a particularly older look, though replacement is not established as necessary.

At £250,000, the asking price is around 9% above the local £/sqf average, so price is a constraint rather than a value advantage. With the renovation midpoint included, all-in costs look tight against local benchmarks; the numbers make this a more selective project than the light scope alone might suggest. The overall WHOTS score is 41/100, grade E.
