Property Oracle says ..
This property is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom semi-detached house located in Farnborough Village, Orpington. The location benefits from being close to several well-regarded schools, including Newstead Wood School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Tubbenden Primary School (Good Ofsted rating). Orpington train station is also within reasonable proximity, providing convenient access to London and other areas. The property itself appears to be in need of some modernisation, as seen in the dated kitchen and bathroom fixtures. However, it does benefit from a good-sized garden. Considering the average house price in the area is significantly higher than the list price, and properties of similar size and type have sold for more, the price may present good value for money, especially given the potential for renovation and increase in value. However, potential buyers should factor in the cost of modernisation.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
