This two-bedroom bungalow on Third Avenue, Sandbach, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Situated in a generally desirable area of Cheshire known for its strong community and good transport links, the property’s location benefits from nearby amenities, schools (Sandbach Primary Academy, Sandbach School, and Sandbach High School being within relatively close proximity), and Sandbach train station. The proximity to these amenities is a positive factor that enhances its appeal to families and those seeking convenience.

However, the property’s condition is a significant drawback. The photos clearly show a property in need of modernisation. Outdated fixtures, carpets, and overall décor suggest that a substantial investment in renovation would be required before the property reaches a modern standard. This will not only increase the total cost of acquisition but may also cause disruption for prospective buyers.

The outside space appears modest, comprising a driveway and small garden, while the absence of property size information makes determining the value per square foot difficult and precludes an accurate estimation of value in comparison to similar properties.

The list price of £280,000 will likely need to be negotiated down to reflect the significant cost and time investment necessary to bring the property up to a desirable standard. Buyers will need to consider the cost of renovation and weigh that against the property’s location and potential future value. In short, this property is suitable for someone who can handle renovation and is looking for a solid investment in the Sandbach region with the potential to modernise for future sale.

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