Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom terraced house on Ashford Road, Old Town, Swindon offers a blend of appealing features and areas needing attention. The property’s location within Old Town is a significant advantage, providing proximity to well-regarded schools and relatively easy access to Swindon’s amenities via public transport. The inclusion of a rear garden adds to its family-friendly appeal.
However, the property’s interior appears dated and in need of significant renovation. The kitchen and bathrooms require modernisation, and most rooms show obvious signs of wear and tear, suggesting substantial work would be required to bring the property up to a modern standard. This will, of course, impact the overall cost of ownership.
While the list price of £280,000 might seem competitive within the context of the Old Town market, potential buyers should carefully factor in the costs associated with necessary improvements and renovations before making an offer. The available information on comparable properties is limited and inconsistent, making it challenging to determine its precise value. Buyers should conduct thorough research and obtain professional valuation before committing to purchase. The lack of accurate plot size is a concern and requires further clarification.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
