This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Forest Gate Road in Corby, Northamptonshire, presents a mixed bag. The property’s location in Lloyds is a plus, with convenient access to several schools, rated ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, a key factor for many families. The proximity to Corby train station is also an attractive aspect for commuters. However, further information is required for a comprehensive evaluation of the local amenities and neighborhood ambiance.

The house itself shows clear signs of age; its interior decor and fixtures are considerably dated. Though structurally sound, potential buyers should expect to invest in modernisation and refurbishment, such as the kitchen, to bring it up to contemporary standards. A more complete inspection by a qualified surveyor would provide a thorough overview of any potential structural issues, requiring costly fixes.

While the exterior is presentable, the provided images don’t reveal the extent of the garden space. The image does show the front and back gardens, although these are small and paved, indicating minimal land.

Finally, pricing is a key consideration. At £279,950, the property’s price seems relatively in line with similar properties in the area, though more pricing data (specifically the price per square foot) would be required to reach a conclusive determination of value. The existing need for renovation might adjust the perceived value compared to similarly sized and styled homes in better condition. Therefore, potential buyers should meticulously balance the benefits of the location and the requirements of extensive renovations before making an offer.

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