Burford is a highly desirable village in the Cotswolds, known for its picturesque setting and strong community. The property’s location on Witney Street places it within easy walking distance of the village centre, with its shops, pubs, and amenities. The proximity to Burford Primary School and Burford School is a significant advantage for families. While the nearest train station is a short drive away in Shipton, the property’s location within Burford itself scores highly.

The property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and renovation. The interior photographs reveal outdated fixtures, fittings, and finishes throughout. There is evidence of wear and tear, and some areas require attention to address potential structural issues. The property shows its age and requires a substantial investment to bring it up to modern standards. The exterior, while charming in its traditional Cotswold style, also shows signs of needing some maintenance.

The property benefits from a garden, although its size is relatively modest compared to some other properties in the area. The garden appears to be overgrown in places and will require some landscaping work. However, the presence of a garden in a village setting is a positive aspect.

Considering the list price of £600,000, the average house price in the area of £197,829, and the average price per square foot of £272, this property’s price per square foot is significantly higher. While the location and the presence of a garden contribute to the value, the required renovation work needed will be a significant cost. The condition of the property and the need for extensive renovation must be taken into account when assessing the value proposition. Therefore, the asking price may be considered high given the necessary investment.

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