Property Oracle says ..
This substantial period farmhouse in Kingsdon, Somerset, presents a unique opportunity for a buyer willing to undertake a comprehensive renovation project. The property’s size and the expansive grounds are notable assets. The five-bedroom layout and two bathrooms offer ample living space, and the location within the desirable village of Kingsdon, near several well-regarded schools (Ilchester Community School, Charlton Mackrell Cofe Primary School, and others), adds further appeal. However, the property is clearly in need of extensive modernisation and refurbishment, as evidenced by the dated interior finishes shown in the photographs. The kitchen and bathrooms appear particularly outdated, and the wallpaper and carpets throughout the house are worn. Potential buyers should factor in significant renovation costs before making an offer. The lack of nearby transport information is noteworthy, but the general location and plot size could offset this for the right buyer. While the house shows great potential, its current condition requires considerable investment. The listing price is substantial and needs assessment against both the renovation cost and the final sale value after renovation.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
