Hortons says ..
An extended, three-bedroomed, semi-detached home that presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to make a home their own and positioned close to shops and schools in the village of Scraptoft.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Scraptoft, Leicester, which benefits from being close to several schools including Netherhall Sure Start Children’s Centre (0.24km), Nether Hall School (0.5km), Orchard Mead Academy (0.52km) and Scraptoft Valley Primary School (0.65km). The proximity to these schools could be advantageous for families. Additionally, transport links to Syston (6.29km) and Leicester (8.69km) via East Midlands Railway are relatively close.
Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. The carpets show significant wear, and the kitchen and bathroom, while functional, exhibit signs of age and require refurbishment. The overall condition suggests a need for some investment to bring it up to a contemporary standard.
The property includes a relatively small garden area, which appears to be mainly comprised of paving stones and gravel. While there is some planting, the overall size of the garden is modest.
Considering the list price of £260,000 and the property’s condition, the lack of significant plot size, and the average prices of nearby properties, the pricing appears to be in line with the local market. However, the need for modernisation and refurbishment should be factored into any potential buyer’s assessment. More data on the average price per square foot for similar properties in the area would allow for a more precise evaluation of the list price.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
