The property is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom detached bungalow situated in Shaftesbury, Dorset.

The list price is £500,000, and the property has 1,424.67 sqft of living space and a 1,371 sqft plot. Shaftesbury is a charming market town in Dorset, known for its Gold Hill, a picturesque street featured in the Hovis advert. The town offers a range of amenities including shops, restaurants, and schools. The property’s location is convenient, with The Abbey Cofe Va Primary School being only 0.44km away and Shaftesbury School 1.90km away. Gillingham (Dorset) train station is approximately 8.12km away, providing access to other parts of the country.

The property appears to be in need of some modernisation. While structurally sound, the interior decor and fixtures are dated, suggesting a need for refurbishment to enhance its appeal and value. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, show signs of age. The garden is of a reasonable size, providing outdoor space. However, it could benefit from some landscaping to enhance its aesthetic appeal.

Considering the average house price in the area is £299,928 and the average price per sqft is £341, the asking price of £500,000 for this 1,424.67 sqft property seems high. While the property benefits from a good location and a reasonable plot size, the condition requires significant investment. The need for modernisation impacts its value, making the list price comparatively expensive compared to other properties in the area. Nearby properties of similar type and size have sold for significantly less, further suggesting that the current asking price may be inflated.

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