The property is located in Ogwell, Devon, a semi-rural area in the South West of England. The area benefits from being relatively close to Newton Abbot (4.25km), providing access to Great Western Railway services. Several primary schools are within a reasonable distance, including Canada Hill Community Primary School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) at 1.06km. The presence of these amenities suggests a convenient location for families. However, the lack of detailed information on local shops and other amenities prevents a more comprehensive assessment of the location’s overall convenience.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and refurbishment. The interior shows dated fixtures, fittings and finishes throughout. Walls show signs of damp and require attention. The kitchen and bathrooms are particularly outdated and would require a complete overhaul. The exterior, while showing a large garden area, also shows signs of needing attention and maintenance. The overall condition suggests a substantial amount of work is needed to bring the property up to a modern standard.

The property includes a substantial garden area, encompassing various outbuildings including greenhouses and sheds. The size of the plot (2,127.48 sqft) is larger than the average for the area, suggesting a good amount of land relative to other properties. The presence of the garden and outbuildings adds to the overall appeal, particularly for those seeking outdoor space.

The list price of £650,000 is significantly higher than the average house price in the area (£410,135) and the average price per sqft (£298). While the larger plot size and potential for future development might justify a higher price, the significant refurbishment needed makes the price seem somewhat high given the current condition. A detailed survey and costings for the necessary renovations would be needed to determine a more accurate valuation. The lack of sqft data for comparable properties makes a direct comparison difficult, however, the available information suggests a price at the higher end of the market.

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