Searching for a forever home - help and support needed

We are looking for our forever home.

Looking for advice and opinions on this specific house.

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/153113879#/?channel=RES_BUY

I don’t think it’s worth £335k because inside some areas need modernising, mainly the upstairs bathroom and en suite. The kitchen houses an under counter fridge and the utility an under counter freezer. This isn’t ideal but we can’t afford to have everything changed all at once so the bathrooms would take priority.

What would be a sensible offer?

What would we need to consider before buying this property? The gardens are lovely but we don’t have the time nor knowledge to maintain so we would want to pull all the plants out and just have grass. Does this look like it will be expensive?

The house is 24 years old built old and built by persimmon. The boiler is 4 years old.

We don’t love the house as it is but we like it a lot, we can see ourselves living here, we love the space and the floor plan and we can see potential. We don’t have a massive amount of savings at all, so the work to be done is quite daunting.
Any advice or help with this is much appreciated.

The garden will look very different when the owners remove all their pots etc.

The bathroom is neutral is it white or cream ? either way all I would do is change the floor in the bathroom.
Only other things I would do is change the colour of a couple of walls in the house, and change one of the carpets in a bedroom.

The advert says offers over, i don't know the area nor what houses are doing in the area

but don't be surprised if they get offers at £350,000 and upwards.

'but don't be surprised if they get offers at £350,000 and upwards.'

I'm not sure why you would assume that as it was reduced over 2 months ago and still hasn't sold. It would surely have sold by now if 335k was considered a great price by the local market.
