This three-bedroom terraced house on Rochdale Road, Tunbridge Wells, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for potential buyers. Located in the St. James’ area, the property benefits from proximity to Grosvenor Park, several well-regarded schools (including St. Barnabas Cofe Va Primary School and St James’ Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School), and good transport links to High Brooms and Tunbridge Wells mainline stations. This makes the location appealing and convenient, although further investigation is recommended to determine the exact impact of its immediate surroundings.

However, the property is in significant need of renovation. The interior images reveal substantial wear and tear, outdated fittings, and incomplete decorating. Wallpaper is peeling, walls are patched, and flooring needs attention. The kitchen and bathroom are particularly dated and require complete refurbishment. The small rear yard is overgrown and would need landscaping.

The list price of £240,000 should be considered in light of the necessary renovations. Nearby comparable properties show a range of prices, making it essential to perform a thorough cost analysis for the refurbishment before making a final judgement. The absence of square footage data for comparable properties makes direct comparison difficult. The property’s relatively small size (638 sqft) may make it less attractive compared to larger family homes in the area, although it could appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking a project. A full structural survey is recommended before purchasing to determine any further issues and the potential cost of their resolution. Overall, this property offers potential, but requires a substantial amount of work and investment.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
