This two-bedroom detached bungalow in Trentham Gardens, Burton Joyce, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. Located in a sought-after village setting, the property benefits from proximity to local amenities and transport links, including a railway station less than a kilometre away. Several nearby schools are rated “Good” by Ofsted, which is a significant advantage for families. The property itself however, requires a complete renovation. The interior décor is dated and heavily worn, and modern upgrades are needed across the board. The photos reveal worn carpets, outdated bathroom fixtures, and an overall need for refurbishment. The garden also looks overgrown and could benefit from significant landscaping. While not a large plot, it does offer some outdoor space. The price of £260,000 falls within the range of similar properties listed in the vicinity; however, prospective buyers must factor in substantial renovation costs which could outweigh the present value. This property would suit a buyer with DIY or renovation skills, or someone willing to take on a considerable project. The location is a strong selling point, adding value despite the current condition and land maintenance that would be required.

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