The property is a 2-bedroom bungalow located on Forest Road, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. It has a list price of £280,000 and is 1,359.16 square feet, situated on a 1,427.29 square foot plot. The average property price in the area is £240,065, with an average size of 913 square feet and an average price per square foot of £262. This bungalow is significantly larger than average. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms show dated fixtures and fittings, and the carpets and decor throughout suggest a need for updating. The garden is a good size and well-maintained. The property benefits from a detached garage and appears to be located in a residential area with established landscaping. The proximity to Annesley Primary and Nursery School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) is a positive aspect for families. Several other schools are within a reasonable distance, although one is rated as ‘Requires Improvement’ and another in ‘Special Measures’. The availability of rail transport at Kirkby-in-Ashfield station, approximately 2.56 km away, adds to the property’s convenience. Considering the property’s size, the need for modernisation, the presence of a garden, and its location near schools and transport links, the asking price of £280,000 seems slightly higher than the average price per square foot in the area would suggest for a property in this condition. However, the larger plot size and the potential for increased value after modernisation should be considered.

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