The property, listed at £825,000, presents a strong value proposition within the current market. Its most notable advantages are its substantial internal area of 1658 square feet, making it the largest property in this comparative set, and its outstanding location and environmental ratings, which are top-tier. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a good standard of modernisation, it compares favorably against other properties. While features like freehold tenure, allocated parking, and a garden are common in this selection, this home's superior size and prime location metrics strongly underpin its asking price. When assessed against other four-bedroom properties, some of which are smaller or less favorably located yet similarly or higher priced, this property's valuation appears justified. Consequently, the advertised price is considered a fair reflection of its market worth, placing its realistic value within a 5% range around this figure.

Environmental Factors
The property is situated in very close proximity to Verulamium Park, a large and historic park offering extensive green space, lakes, and recreational facilities, which is a significant competitive advantage.
Castle Road is a residential street, not a main thoroughfare, suggesting a relatively peaceful environment with limited through-traffic and associated noise compared to properties on busier roads.
Properties on or near Castle Road have a high potential for pleasant views, possibly overlooking Verulamium Park or the generally attractive and well-maintained surrounding residential area, a distinct advantage.
The nearby River Ver, flowing through Verulamium Park, enhances the natural beauty and provides scenic walking routes, contributing positively to the local environment.
