A two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow with a south-facing aspect and a small private courtyard garden, set within beautifully landscaped communal grounds. Close to the station and walkable into the village, offered to the market with no onward chain and a share of the freehold.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 2-bedroom bungalow situated in Hassocks, West Sussex. The location is convenient, with Hassocks train station only 0.12km away, providing easy access to Brighton and London. Excellent primary and secondary schools are within a reasonable distance, adding to its family-friendly appeal. The immediate vicinity appears to have a mix of housing types and price points.
Based on the provided images, the property seems to be in good condition. The interior is well-maintained and presented, though the decor is traditional and may not appeal to all buyers. The kitchen and bathroom appear modern and functional. The exterior is also well-maintained. There is a small, manageable garden space.
The list price of £400,000 is slightly below the average price for the area (£468,883), however, it’s important to consider that the average square footage is 879 sq ft, while this property offers 927.96 sq ft. The average price per square foot in the area is £533, which, when applied to this property’s size, suggests a value closer to £492,800. Therefore, while the list price is below the average, it’s still relatively close to the estimated value based on square footage. The smaller plot size compared to other properties in the area may also contribute to the lower list price.
Considering the property’s condition, location, and size, the list price appears to be reasonably competitive within the Hassocks market. However, potential buyers should carefully consider the smaller plot size relative to the average for similar properties in the area.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
