This 3-bedroom bungalow in Duncton, West Sussex, presents a mixed bag. Its location offers a peaceful village setting with the added benefit of being close to a well-regarded primary school (Duncton Cofe Junior School). The proximity to Petworth offers access to a wider range of amenities. However, the lack of nearby public transport could be a significant consideration for potential buyers.

The property’s condition is the biggest challenge. The images reveal significant cosmetic wear and tear throughout the interiors. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, appear outdated and in need of complete refurbishment. The overall aesthetic is dated, indicating the need for a substantial renovation investment. The good news is that this provides an opportunity to fully modernize the property to personal preferences.

The property does have a garden, offering outdoor space, but its precise dimensions are not provided. Nonetheless, from the photos, it seems to be of a reasonable size for the property and location.

In terms of price, the £465,000 listing reflects the average price for properties on Duncton High Street. However, the required renovation works must be factored into the overall cost. While not overpriced for the location if renovated, the current condition lowers the perceived value. Potential buyers should carefully assess the cost of renovations and weigh them against the final property value. In summary, the property is suitable for buyers looking for a renovation project in a desirable village setting, but only if they are fully aware of the investment needed. The potential return is reasonable in time but significant capital is required upfront.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
