A three bedroom terraced house with a garage requiring updating and modernisation situated in a cul de sac location.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is a three-bedroom terraced house located in Ben Jonson Close, Chelston, Torbay, Devon. The list price is £160,000. The property is in need of significant renovation. The interior photos show peeling wallpaper, exposed floorboards, and outdated fixtures and fittings. The kitchen and bathroom are particularly dated and require complete modernisation. The garden is overgrown and requires considerable attention. While the property’s condition is poor, its location is positive. It is within proximity to several schools, including Torquay Girls’ Grammar School and Torquay Boys’ Grammar School, both of which have good Ofsted ratings. The location also benefits from relatively easy access to several train stations, including Torre and Torquay. Considering the average house price in the area is significantly higher (£400,551) and the average price per square foot is £323, the list price of £160,000 for this property appears reasonable, especially given its condition. However, the significant renovation required should be factored into any potential buyer’s budget. The lack of plot size information makes a definitive statement on land value impossible. Based on the images provided, the property requires renovation and has a small garden.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
