Bennett Road, Faringdon SN7

At £230,000, this is priced around 16% below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear opportunity to acquire. The two reception rooms, two double bedrooms, driveway parking and large rear garden give you a useful canvas, with a large outbuilding adding flexibility.

The interiors are tired across several rooms, with worn flooring and dated finishes, so expect a medium-scale programme of modernisation and garden improvement. The exterior and roof look broadly intact in the available views, but the overall score remains weak: the economics leave only a modest margin against the implied local average value, so the project depends on managing the work and purchase carefully.
