This three-bedroom terraced house located on Woodlands Grove in Coulsdon presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. The property is situated in a generally desirable residential area of Coulsdon, benefiting from relatively good access to schools and transport links to London via Coulsdon Town train station. Nearby schools such as St Aidan’s Catholic Primary School and Woodcote High School hold good Ofsted ratings, further enhancing the location’s desirability. However, the house is undeniably in need of significant modernisation. The dated interior, as evident in the provided images, requires a complete renovation to meet modern living standards. The kitchen and bathroom are particularly outdated, and the overall condition suggests substantial work will be necessary. While the property does include a garden, it appears currently overgrown and undermaintained. The small size of the garden is also likely a factor that needs to be considered. The list price of £399,000 requires careful consideration. Although the location is attractive, the extensive refurbishment needs could represent a large additional cost, partially offset by the potential value increase after renovation. The absence of precise square footage data for nearby comparable properties hinders a more precise assessment of the property’s value, but compared to other nearby listings which are in better condition, this property represents potentially good value for money given the work needed.

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