This two-bedroom detached bungalow in Burwood Grove, Hayling Island, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. The location is a definite plus, with its proximity to local amenities, schools like The Hayling College (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Mengham Junior School (also ‘Good’), making it appealing to families. Transport links are within a reasonable distance, although a car is advisable given Hayling Island’s location.

However, the property’s condition is a significant drawback. The interior pictures reveal dated décor, worn carpets, and overall a need for substantial modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom, though functional, would benefit from a complete overhaul. Potential buyers should be prepared for considerable renovation costs before they can enjoy the property to its full potential. The garden offers space, but it also requires significant work in terms of landscaping and maintenance.

Considering comparable properties in the area have sold in a similar price range, the asking price of £369,995 seems slightly high given the required renovation works. While the location is desirable, the condition of the property significantly impacts its overall value. A buyer willing to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment project might find this property attractive, but those seeking a move-in-ready home may want to explore other options. Prospective buyers should obtain a thorough property survey to assess the full extent of any structural or other issues before committing to a purchase. A realistic budgeting plan for renovation and the potential costs involved is strongly advised. Overall the property offers the bones of a lovely home, but the work involved needs to be carefully considered.

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