Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom terraced house in St James’, Tunbridge Wells is listed for £315,000. The property’s location is a strong selling point, as St James’ is a sought-after area with good access to transportation, schools, and green spaces such as Grosvenor & Hilbert Park. The proximity to Tunbridge Wells and High Brooms train stations offers convenient commuting options. The presence of good schools nearby adds to the appeal for families.
The property itself appears to be in reasonable condition; however, significant modernization is necessary. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, seem dated and could benefit from a comprehensive refurbishment. The internal photographs show a property that is relatively unimproved and may require significant investment from a new owner to update the fixtures, fittings, and decor. The floors and wall coverings would need an update. The garden, while present, appears relatively small.
The list price of £315,000 necessitates a careful assessment. Considering the location, the need for renovations, and the lack of detailed information on the property’s exact square footage and features, the list price is competitive but may require negotiation based on the buyer’s appraisal of the necessary modernization costs. Further due diligence, including a professional survey, is recommended before making a purchase decision. It is advisable for potential buyers to compare detailed specifications and obtain several valuations from local estate agents to obtain a full price picture before committing to an 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. *
