This three-bedroom, three-bathroom property located on Blackboy Road in Exeter, Devon, presents a mixed bag. The property’s location in Newtown and St Leonard’s is advantageous due to its relative proximity to Exeter city centre, local shops, and well-regarded schools such as Ladysmith Infant & Nursery School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) and is only 0.8km from St James Park train station. However, the street itself might not be one of the most sought-after locations within Exeter.

The interior requires significant modernisation. The photos show dated fixtures, carpets and decor that are in need of updating. Although it appears structurally sound, potential buyers should budget for cosmetic improvements throughout. The property also features a small garden which, while offering some outdoor space, seems rather overgrown in the provided photographs.

The list price of £360,000 merits careful consideration. Similar properties in the area are often listed at a lower price point when requiring extensive renovations. While the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as the desirable location, may justify a higher price, the property’s overall condition necessitates a thorough inspection and detailed costing for renovations before a purchase decision is made. It is vital to obtain multiple valuations and compare the property to other similar properties in the area on the open market. Due to the information provided this property is likely to be more attractive to those looking for an investment opportunity or a project rather than a move-in-ready home. For buyers looking for an ideal family home, a higher-end property with less renovation needs will be a more attractive option.

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