Offered to the market with no upper chain and set overlooking a communal green. A three bedroom family home with lounge/diner, private rear garden and requiring some modernisation internally. This is a fantastic first time buy or continued investment property and a viewing is recommended. <...

The property is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom terraced house located on Sycamore Road in Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. It has a total area of 797 sqft and is listed at £270,000. The property benefits from a rear garden. The location is reasonably good, with nearby schools including Thornhill Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and The Academy of Central Bedfordshire (also rated ‘Good’). Transportation links are available via Harlington and Leagrave train stations, both within approximately 6km. The average house price on Sycamore Road is £215,000, suggesting the listed price is slightly higher than average for the street. However, nearby streets like Brookfield Avenue and Park Avenue command significantly higher average prices, indicating potential for future value appreciation. Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in fair condition. While it is habitable, some cosmetic upgrades and potential repairs (e.g., the bathroom) would likely enhance its overall appeal and value. The kitchen shows signs of wear and tear, and the interior walls could benefit from a refresh. The garden is present but requires some landscaping and maintenance. Considering the average price per sqft in the area is £452, and the property is listed at £270,000 for 797 sqft, the price seems slightly above average for the area, but comparable to some nearby properties. However, the condition of the property and the need for potential repairs and renovations should be factored into any assessment of value. The lack of plot size information makes it difficult to accurately assess the land value.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
