This three-bedroom detached house located on Dart Bridge Road, Buckfastleigh, Devon, presents a mixed bag of pros and cons. The property’s location within Buckfastleigh offers access to local schools, though transport links require further investigation. There are several primary schools nearby with varying Ofsted ratings ranging from ‘Good’ to ‘Requires Improvement’. This offers a degree of choice for families, yet, the absence of information regarding public transport connectivity means this needs to be personally assessed to ascertain its suitability.

The property itself appears structurally sound, although a degree of modernisation and refurbishment is evident from the pictures. Dated decor and finishes are present throughout. The kitchen and bathroom in particular exhibit older fixtures and fittings. While the house is liveable as is, significant improvements would enhance its value and desirability. The presence of a garage and various outbuildings is an attractive feature. The house also appears to benefit from a sizeable garden with varied features. The exact size isn’t specified, but photographs show several distinct areas including a paved patio, grassy areas, and potentially sheds, indicative of a good garden space.

The list price is £400,000. In terms of value for money, while comparative pricing data is limited in terms of square footage, this seems comparatively reasonable for a detached property in the area in this condition, when looking at surrounding houses. However, considering the need for modernisation, a potential buyer must weigh the cost of improvements against the current market value before committing to a purchase.

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