This property at 48 Post Street, Godmanchester, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. Its prime location in the town’s historic core is a significant advantage, offering proximity to amenities, including shops, the river, and well-regarded schools such as Godmanchester Community Academy (0.17 km away). The railway station in nearby Huntingdon provides convenient access to broader transportation networks.

The exterior of the property appears to be well-maintained, though the exterior images are not comprehensive enough to give a comprehensive analysis. However, the interior shows a need for updating and potential renovation. The kitchen is outdated, and some rooms exhibit signs of wear and tear. This will impact the cost of purchase. The property’s layout currently combines residential and commercial areas and seems to combine a family dwelling in the front with a children’s nursery in the rear. This could significantly impact future use and potential value based on the buyer’s intended use.

The presence of a rear garden, visible in the photos, is a positive aspect, providing outdoor space which is a rare commodity in town centre properties. However, the actual size of the garden is not specified, which limits the ability to fully assess its value.

The list price of £500,000 requires careful consideration, taking into account the necessary upgrades and repairs. While the location and garden are strong selling points, the need for modernisation will likely influence the final sale price. The property’s unique combination of residential and commercial usage presents an opportunity, but also a need for a thorough assessment of future usage plans and return. Further investigation into the structural condition and potential for extending, and the exact split between residential and commercial areas are crucial before making a purchase decision.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
