This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Martins Wood, Stevenage, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for prospective buyers. The property’s location is a definite positive, offering relatively easy access to primary schools rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and a reasonable commute to London via Stevenage train station. The small garden adds some outdoor space, though it appears in need of some landscaping.

However, the property’s condition requires careful consideration. The interior photographs reveal a style dating back several decades, with outdated kitchens and bathrooms. Potential buyers should budget for a significant amount of refurbishment to update the property to meet contemporary standards. The dated features include the carpet, walls, kitchen, and bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom would require a full refit and modernisation.

At £325,000, the property’s price falls within a reasonable range compared to similar properties, though direct price-per-square-foot comparisons are hampered by inconsistent data. However, factoring in the necessary renovation costs, buyers need to account for this and fully review if this property is suitable to their needs. Prospective buyers should carefully weigh the cost of refurbishment against the overall value proposition of the location and potential for increased property value after renovation. Overall, this property represents a potentially viable investment for buyers willing to undertake modernisation projects.

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