The property is a 3-bedroom detached bungalow situated on Heyswood Avenue in Newport, Barnstaple. It benefits from a garage and a garden. The property is in need of some modernisation and updating, as evidenced by the photos. The flooring appears to be unfinished or needs replacing, and some areas look like they require painting and decorating. The location is good, with nearby schools including Newport Community School Primary Academy (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and The Lampard Community School (Good Ofsted rating), both within a short distance. Barnstaple train station is also relatively close by. The average price per square foot in the area is £192, and while the property is smaller than the average size for the area, the list price of £300,000 appears slightly higher than the average house price in the area of £276,950. However, comparable properties on Heyswood Avenue have sold for between £215,000 and £280,000, suggesting the list price might be on the higher end but not unreasonable given the location and inclusion of a garage. The land is relatively small compared to other properties in the area. Considering the condition, location, and land size, the property presents a mixed bag. While the location is desirable due to its proximity to good schools and transport links, the property requires modernisation, which may impact the final sale price. The list price is higher than the average but within the range of similar properties on the same street.

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