This three-bedroom bungalow in Broadstone, Bournemouth, is listed for £600,000. The property benefits from a good location in a desirable residential area known for its family-friendly environment and good schools. Several schools including Springdale First School (0.43km away) and Corfe Hills School (1.44km away) are within close proximity, making it an attractive option for families. Train stations such as Hamworthy (3.72km away) provide access to a wider transport network.

However, the property is in need of significant modernisation. The images reveal outdated interiors, requiring extensive renovations to bring it to a contemporary standard. The kitchen and bathrooms are particularly dated, and most rooms need redecoration and potential structural improvements. The current interior is not attractive and would likely require a complete overhaul, considerably impacting the overall cost of ownership.

A significant advantage is the sizeable garden, offering good potential. While currently overgrown, this area represents a considerable asset, potentially suitable for landscaping to increase the property’s appeal or even as a development opportunity, subject to obtaining any necessary planning permissions.

The lack of square footage information for the property in comparison to surrounding houses and the listed plot size of 0 makes it hard to provide an exact price per sq ft comparison. The listed price of £600,000 sits within the range of similar properties in the area. However, potential buyers must factor in the considerable cost of the necessary renovations. The overall value for money is therefore moderate, although it’s dependent on the buyer’s plans and willingness to undertake a renovation project of this scale.

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