Two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in popular Highworth, offering great potential for modernisation. Includes a living room, kitchen, shower room, small conservatory, rear garden, garage, shared driveway, and private front driveway. Ideal renovation project!
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom property located on Folly Drive in Highworth, Swindon, is a semi-detached bungalow. The property’s exterior appears reasonably well maintained, though the interior necessitates significant updating. The kitchen and bathroom are noticeably dated, and the interior decor throughout is outdated, necessitating a full refurbishment to improve the property’s overall aesthetic and functionality. The property benefits from having a garden, though it is not extensive and requires landscaping. The location in Highworth is positive, with several good primary schools within a reasonable distance. This makes the property potentially attractive to families, provided the necessary improvements are undertaken. The price of £250,000 appears reasonable in the context of the Highworth housing market, accounting for its condition and the requirement for substantial renovation. However, without precise square footage data for similar recent sales in the area, it’s difficult to confidently assess its value on a per square foot basis. Potential buyers should budget for considerable renovation costs before committing to a purchase.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
