This two-bedroom terraced house in Ottery St Mary, Devon, presents a mixed bag. The property’s location is its strongest feature. Ottery St Mary is a popular town with good amenities and a convenient location, particularly for those seeking proximity to good schools. The nearby King’s School, with an Outstanding Ofsted rating, is a key attraction for families. While not central, the property’s location on Yonder Street would place it within a reasonable walking distance to the town centre. Access to transportation links, while not immediately at the doorstep, is also facilitated by train stations in nearby towns.

In terms of condition, the property appears to be habitable but in need of some updating. The interior photos show that significant cosmetic improvements and possibly some structural repairs are needed. The décor is dated, and a refurbishment would significantly enhance the property’s appeal and value. The kitchen and bathroom, while functional, appear slightly tired and in need of modernisation.

The garden is present, but relatively small and currently rather overgrown. While it offers some outdoor space, it’s unlikely to be a major selling point for buyers unless their priorities lie elsewhere.

Overall, the property presents a good opportunity for someone looking for a project property in a desirable location, but buyers should factor in the cost of refurbishments and potential improvements before making an offer. The asking price seems in line with the general market value of similar properties in the area, given the necessary improvements. Prospective purchasers should undertake a thorough survey to ascertain the exact extent of required works, obtaining multiple quotes to ensure cost-accuracy.

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