Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom semi-detached house located on Felstead Road in Orpington presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Its key strength lies in its location. Orpington is a popular residential area with good transport connections to London and nearby towns, and its proximity to highly-rated schools like St Olave’s Grammar School adds to its appeal for families. However, the property itself is in need of extensive modernisation and renovation. The photographs reveal outdated fittings, worn flooring, and cosmetic damage throughout. The garden, while present, is overgrown and requires significant landscaping. The asking price of £380,000 could be considered relatively high given the extensive refurbishment required, although the lack of precise square footage data on comparable properties makes a definitive assessment difficult. Potential buyers should factor in the substantial costs of renovation when evaluating the overall value proposition. A thorough survey and professional valuation would be highly recommended before making any offer.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
