Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Oulton Broad, Lowestoft, a desirable area in East Suffolk. The proximity to Oulton Broad North and South train stations, offering convenient access to other towns and cities, is a positive aspect. The presence of several highly-rated primary schools within a reasonable distance further enhances the location’s appeal to families.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in fair condition. While it is habitable, some aspects, such as the bathroom and kitchen, could benefit from modernisation. The property shows signs of wear and tear, indicating the need for some updating and maintenance. The garden, although present, is relatively small.
The list price of £220,000 is below the average price for the area (£274,097). However, considering the property’s condition and smaller size (305 sqft compared to the average of 933 sqft), the price seems reasonable. The average price per square foot in the area is £293, and while the property’s square footage is not provided, the list price reflects this lower average. The nearby properties on Desmond Close show a range of prices, with some significantly lower than the list price, suggesting that the property may not be overpriced, but it may not be the best value for money either.
The property includes a shed and a small garden.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
