Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom detached bungalow in Melksham Forest, Wiltshire, presents a modest family home opportunity. The property is located on Woodrow Road, offering a relatively quiet suburban setting while maintaining access to Melksham’s amenities. Nearby schools, including River Mead School and Forest And Sandridge Church Of England Primary School, which both received ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings, add to its appeal for families.
The property’s condition presents a mixed bag. The exterior is relatively well-maintained, with a functional garden that includes a shed. However, the internal photos reveal dated interior finishes and worn carpets, indicating a need for some level of modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom are basic and could benefit from upgrades. The property would undoubtedly benefit from a fresh coat of paint and updated decor.
The list price of £350,000 appears acceptable given the comparison properties in the area, the property’s size and the presence of a reasonably-sized garden. However, potential buyers should factor in the costs of refurbishment to improve the property’s overall condition and appeal. Buyers must carefully weigh the cost of renovation with their overall budget.
In summary, the property offers a functional family home with potential in a decent location. The need for modernisation and the lack of complete square footage details for comparable properties are considerations to take into account before purchasing. The property has good location aspects and a potentially good amount of land for the area, however, the condition of the property currently leaves it needing updates.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
