The property is a 3-bedroom bungalow situated on Orchard Road, Westbrook, Thanet, Kent. It’s listed at £499,995 and has 1,336.12 sqft of living space and a plot size of 1,533 sqft. The average house price in the area is £388,911, with an average price per sqft of £372. The property benefits from a good location, with several primary schools within a reasonable distance, including Garlinge Primary School and Nursery and Cherry Tree, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Several Southeastern train stations are also nearby, providing convenient access to other areas. The proximity to these amenities makes the location desirable. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation. Whilst structurally sound, the interior decor and some fixtures are dated. The carpets and wallpaper are tired, and the kitchen and bathroom could benefit from an update. The garden is of a reasonable size for a bungalow, offering a degree of privacy and outdoor space. Considering the property’s condition, the location, and the land size, the list price of £499,995 appears to be at the higher end of the market value. While the average price per sqft in the area is £372, comparable properties in the area have sold for less. The need for modernisation may account for some of the price difference, but it is still important to consider this factor when making an offer. A full survey is recommended to assess the property’s condition thoroughly and identify any potential issues that may impact the value.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
