The property is located in Roundswell, Barnstaple, North Devon. The area benefits from relatively close proximity to Barnstaple train station (3.25km) and several primary schools within a 1km radius, including Roundswell Community Primary Academy and The Shoreline Academy. While specific Ofsted ratings are unavailable, the presence of these schools is a positive factor for families. The average house price in the area is significantly higher than the list price of this property, at £451,562 compared to £300,000. However, the average house size is also larger (1107 sqft vs 820 sqft).

The property itself appears to be a two-story brick house with a small garden. The garden shows signs of needing some attention, with overgrown areas and what looks like a pond requiring maintenance. The interior photos reveal a property that is in generally livable condition, though some rooms show signs of wear and tear, and the overall decor is dated. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but could benefit from some modernisation. The presence of a garage is a positive feature.

Considering the average price per square foot in the area (£407) and the property’s size (820 sqft), a rough estimate of its value would be around £334,000. The list price of £300,000 is therefore below this estimate, suggesting it could represent reasonable value, especially given its location and the inclusion of a garage. However, potential buyers should factor in the cost of necessary repairs and renovations to the garden and the interior.

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