A three bedroom semi-detached house, offering a fantastic opportunity to modernise and update to individual taste, ideally located within the catchment for several reputable schools.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Merrow, Guildford, Surrey. The area benefits from being relatively close to several schools, including Bushy Hill Junior School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Merrow Cofe Controlled Infant School (rated ‘Outstanding’). The proximity to London Road (Guildford) train station also provides convenient access to transport links. While the provided data doesn’t offer detailed insights into the immediate vicinity’s amenities and character, the general location within Merrow suggests a reasonably desirable residential area.
Based on the images, the property appears to be in need of modernisation. The interior features dated décor, carpets, and fixtures. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, show signs of age and could benefit from significant updates. The garden, while present, seems somewhat overgrown and requires attention.
The property includes a garden, as evidenced by the provided images, which is a positive attribute. The size of the garden isn’t specified, but it appears to be of a reasonable size for a semi-detached house.
Considering the list price of £525,000, the average price in the area (£852,578), and the average price per square foot (£661), the property’s pricing appears relatively low compared to the area average. However, the lack of square footage information for the subject property makes a precise price-per-square-foot comparison impossible. Furthermore, the property’s condition and the need for potential renovation should be factored into the assessment. The lower price may reflect the need for modernisation, making it potentially a good investment opportunity for someone willing to undertake renovations. A thorough survey would be advisable to assess the extent of any necessary works and their associated costs.
The property is a 3-bedroom semi-detached house. It requires modernisation, but the location and the presence of a garden are positive factors. The list price is significantly below the area average, potentially reflecting the need for renovation. Further investigation into the property’s actual square footage and a detailed survey would provide a more comprehensive assessment of its value.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
