This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in Northolt, UB5 5DG, is presented to the market at £450,000. The property is situated on Harewood Avenue, close to local shops, schools and transport links. Although a short distance from multiple stations, it is worth noting this would involve a walk to get to any station. The nearby schools receive good Ofsted ratings.

The property itself is in need of a comprehensive refurbishment. The interior is dated, with worn carpets and fixtures. The kitchen and bathroom require a complete overhaul. However, the property benefits from a generously sized garden, providing significant potential for extensions or landscaping. This garden offers valuable outdoor space, which is a rare commodity in this part of London. The property’s location in Northolt makes it a reasonably convenient option for those seeking access to both London and more suburban surroundings.

Potential buyers should factor in the cost of significant renovations when assessing the property’s overall value. The current condition would need to be considered when offering on this property. While the asking price appears to reflect the property’s location and potential, prospective buyers should carefully weigh the costs associated with modernisation. The potential for significant improvement through modernisation makes it an interesting proposition for those with renovation experience and/or access to a healthy budget. A survey is highly recommended before purchase.

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