DECEPTIVELY SPACIOUS TERRACED HOME enviably situated on the highly popular terraced street of Melbourne Road. The property boasts two good sized reception rooms, three bedrooms, a bright kitchen space and downstairs family bathroom with enclosed garden to rear

Property Oracle says ..

This three-bedroom terraced house in Lowestoft, Suffolk, presents a mixed bag. Located on Melbourne Road, the property offers a convenient proximity to Lowestoft train station, improving access to commuting opportunities. The presence of several schools within a reasonable distance is a further plus for families, but parents should thoroughly research school reports to gauge the suitability of local educational options. The Ofsted ratings of nearby schools vary, highlighting a need for careful consideration of this aspect. While the property itself is not in disrepair and is habitable, the provided images suggest an interior that would benefit from modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom are dated and would likely require updating to increase the overall appeal. Additionally, there is a small, enclosed garden which is a desirable addition for potential buyers, yet not excessively large. The listing price of £120,000 sits within a reasonable range for similar properties in the area, although a comprehensive comparison requires more detailed information on the square footage of nearby properties. Potential buyers should factor in the cost of renovations and weigh that against the overall value proposition. The property could represent an affordable entry point to the Lowestoft property market, especially for those comfortable undertaking some improvement works. However, prospective buyers should conduct a thorough survey of the property before making an offer to identify any structural or hidden defects that might add unexpected costs to their investment.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
