Confidence: MEDIUM

This 4-bedroom semi-detached chalet bungalow is an intriguing project in a desirable location near Dame Alice Owens School. Priced at £720,000, it sits competitively at £514/sqf, below the local average of £548/sqf, offering a good entry point for those looking to add value through renovation.

The property does show signs of general wear and tear throughout, with dated interiors that present an excellent opportunity for a fresh update. The living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen are functional but in need of modernisation, while the garden boasts a generous 80' south-facing space. With a medium-scale renovation budget of £50,000 to £100,000, prospective buyers can reimagine the spaces to fit contemporary tastes and needs.
