Paul Barker Estate Agents says ..
A wonderful opportunity to purchase a two bedroom Victorian end of terrace house in a highly sought after road in the Conservation area of St Albans. The property offers tremendous scope to modernise, reconfigure and extend to the rear and into the loft (subject to planning permission).
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom Victorian terraced house located on Kimberley Road in St. Albans presents a mixed opportunity for buyers. The property’s location in the Batchwood area is a significant advantage, offering proximity to schools and the St Albans City train station. However, the interior requires a substantial renovation. The photographs reveal dated fixtures, carpets and wallpaper, suggesting a considerable investment is needed to modernize the house to current standards. The garden, while present, is currently unkempt and would require significant landscaping. The asking price of £530,000 sits within a range of comparable properties on Kimberley Road, though the lack of precise plot size data and substantial need for renovation influence how good this value is. Potential buyers should factor in the cost of extensive refurbishment into their assessment, as this will significantly impact the total cost of ownership. While the location offers much appeal, the condition of the property necessitates a thorough renovation budget. Those seeking a project property in a good St. Albans location may find this appealing. However, buyers expecting a move-in-ready home should look elsewhere.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
