Deceptively spacious detached bungalow that requires complete refurbishment. There is plenty of scope to re-configure the layout and extend STNC, South facing garden and far reaching views, generous proportions with an integral garage and private driveway. NO CHAIN
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom property in Southwick, West Sussex, presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a renovation project with coastal proximity. Located on Wilby Avenue, the property benefits from relatively easy access to local schools, including Holmbush Primary Academy and Shoreham Academy, both rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. The nearby Southwick railway station offers convenient links to Brighton and surrounding areas.
However, the property’s current condition is significantly below market standards. The internal photographs clearly depict an interior that needs extensive refurbishment, from outdated fittings and flooring to necessary repairs and modernisation. While the exterior appears structurally sound, the garden requires considerable landscaping work.
The absence of square footage data in the provided information prevents a precise comparison of price per square foot to the neighborhood averages. Yet, based on nearby property prices, particularly considering the need for substantial renovation, the list price is potentially high but not unreasonably so. The final value will largely depend on the extent and cost of the necessary renovations. A potential buyer should factor in a significant budget for renovations to accurately assess the overall value proposition.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
