The property is listed at £799,500 and benefits from an exceptional overall location and very high environmental ratings when compared to other properties in this market. It also features a high level of modernisation, two bathrooms, and a unique, appealing outlook over a residents' green. While these are strong selling points, its price is benchmarked against other available properties. Notably, another property boasting similarly exceptional location and modernisation levels, but offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and significantly more internal space, is listed for considerably less. This suggests that while the subject property's unique charm and prime setting command a premium, its current price might be at the higher end of its achievable market value. A realistic price band would therefore be slightly adjusted to reflect this competitive landscape and provide a balanced valuation.
The property is on average £31,818 more expensive than similar properties in the area

8.8/10Location

Environmental Factors
The property is located in very close proximity to Verulamium Park, a large and historic park offering extensive green space, lakes, and recreational facilities. This is a significant environmental advantage, enhancing lifestyle and providing pleasant views for some properties.
St. Vincent Drive is a quiet residential street with no through-traffic, leading to low noise levels and a peaceful environment directly around the property.
Proximity to the River Ver, which flows through the nearby Verulamium Park, adds to the scenic quality and natural appeal of the local area.
Potential for some distant traffic noise from larger nearby arterial roads such as the A414 (Bluehouse Hill) or King Harry Lane, particularly depending on atmospheric conditions and specific property orientation.

8.1/10Modernization
