Description

Its flexible accommodation includes good-sized living space and bedrooms, while the kitchen and bathroom are described as dated and provide scope for updating to suit a new owner. The property is presented as a modernisation project rather than a finished home.
Outside, there is a large, secluded rear garden with a workshop for storage or hobbies, plus a private driveway at the front. Local shops, including the South East Road Co-op, are nearby, with bus services and Sholing railway station providing connections towards the city centre and beyond. The listing also gives Council Tax Band B and names Sholing Infant School and Oasis Academy Sholing among nearby schools.

Confidence: MEDIUM
This Sholing semi-detached bungalow has a usable, versatile layout and a standout large, enclosed rear garden with a workshop. The dated finishes across the visible living spaces give buyers scope for a medium-scale modernisation, including reworking the older kitchen and bathroom, refreshing decoration and flooring, and tidying the garden. No onward chain and off-road parking add practical appeal.
The price is the main constraint: at £260,000, it sits above the local £/sqf average rather than offering a discount. With a mid-to-substantial programme of works, the purchase price plus improvement spend looks stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area; that comparison is with current local values, not a forecast of the finished property's value.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom, with scope to tailor the finishes to a buyer's needs.
- Refresh the older decoration and flooring across the visible living spaces for a more cohesive feel.
- Make the most of the large enclosed garden and workshop, with some garden tidying and improvement.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding a mid-to-substantial works programme leaves the overall outlay stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area.
- All-in costs look stretched once the asking price and a mid-to-substantial refurb are combined, leaving a gap of around 19% versus area norms for this sqft; post-works value sits outside our data.
