Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious three-bedroom detached house in a quiet cul-de-sac presents a solid opportunity for renovation and improvement. The property is competitively priced at £350,000, which is below the local average of £363/sqf, making it a reasonable buy for those looking to add value through light refurbishment.

The secluded garden offers potential for landscaping or outdoor enhancements, adding to the overall appeal of the property. While the general condition indicates a need for redecoration, the good-sized accommodation and the favorable location in Marks Tey, close to local amenities and transport links, make this home an attractive project for families or investors.
