This property is currently listed at £895,000. It boasts a generous internal area of 1574 square feet, four bedrooms, and scores highly for its overall location and environmental aspects. Features like allocated parking and a garden are standard for this market. While its size and location are significant advantages, its modernisation level is good rather than exceptional, and its council tax band F is relatively high. Comparable properties in the vicinity, some offering more internal space, better modernisation, or lower council tax bands, are available at considerably lower prices—for instance, a larger, more modern home is listed at £825,000. This suggests the current asking price for the analyzed property is ambitious. A more realistic valuation, considering these market dynamics, places its value between £779,000 and £861,000.
The property is on average £127,318 more expensive than similar properties in the area
