Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom cottage in Buckfastleigh, Devon, presents a mixed bag. Located in a town centre position, the property benefits from a potentially convenient situation. Nearby schools are listed but require further research to ascertain the suitability for families. The immediate area seems pleasant, but more information about nearby transport links would strengthen this aspect. The property itself is of a charming character; however, the provided photographs showcase an interior needing a degree of cosmetic attention, if not full renovation. The property shows its age and the current arrangement of furniture does nothing to help the visual appeal. The limited outdoor space, more of a small courtyard, detracts from the overall appeal. Ultimately, the asking price of £120,000 is arguably reasonable in context of the area, given the need for potential modernization, making it an attractive proposition for those seeking a project or a buy-to-let investment, especially in light of the potential tenant in situ already. Further due diligence is advisable, including a full building survey, to assess any underlying structural or other issues before purchasing.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
