A mature four bedroom detached house sitting on a 0.23 of an acre plot requiring major renovation works and with great potential to extend subject to planning. Ideally located for a variety of local shops and a comprehensive range of amenities including the nearby Addison Park and swimming pool.
Property Oracle says ..
This four-bedroom detached house in Marlborough Park, Kempston, presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a renovation project. Situated in an area with convenient access to local amenities, including parks and schools, the location offers a desirable family-friendly environment. However, potential buyers should be prepared for substantial work. The property requires extensive modernisation throughout; from the dated kitchen and bathrooms to the overgrown garden. The interior requires a complete overhaul, including flooring, wall coverings, and potentially some structural updates. The exterior also shows a lack of maintenance.
The asking price is likely factored to account for this significant need for renovation; a considerable budget needs to be factored into the overall cost. Further investigation of similar renovation projects in the area is recommended to verify the valuation. The large plot size, despite its current neglected state, offers considerable potential for landscaping and possible extension (subject to necessary planning permissions). Overall, this property is suitable for those with renovation experience and a strong budget for the project. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough survey and obtain detailed cost estimates for renovation before committing.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
