Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom detached bungalow located on Orchard Way in Shirley North, Croydon, presents a mixed bag of prospects. The property’s location is a significant positive. The proximity to several well-regarded schools and train stations offering connections to London enhances the appeal, catering especially to families. The area itself seems to command solid property values, as evident from nearby listings. However, a major drawback is the property’s condition. The photographs strongly suggest the need for substantial refurbishment and modernisation throughout. Outdated features, peeling wallpaper and what looks to be water damage, highlight that this is not a move-in-ready home. The property does benefit from having a rear garden, which offers potential for outdoor living. Without exact square footage data for the property, a definitive assessment of value for money proves challenging, as pricing per square foot cannot be precisely determined against local market averages. Ultimately, a buyer would need to factor in the significant cost of renovation before making a decision. The property would likely appeal to buyers looking for a renovation project with a long-term view, or those with the financial means to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
