Hale Barns is a desirable suburb of Altrincham, known for its excellent schools and convenient transport links. The property’s proximity to several highly-rated primary and secondary schools, including Saint Ambrose College, is a significant advantage. The nearby train stations provide easy access to Manchester and other parts of the North West. This contributes to a high location score. The property appears to be in generally good condition. While some rooms show signs of needing updating or redecoration (such as the purple and patterned wallpaper in the bedrooms), the kitchen and bathroom appear recently modernised. The overall impression is of a well-maintained property that is habitable and functional, though some cosmetic improvements could enhance its appeal. The property benefits from a garden, which adds to its desirability, especially in a suburban setting like Hale Barns. The size of the garden appears modest but sufficient for family use. The list price of £350,000 is significantly below the average house price in Hale Barns (£1,248,254). However, the average house size in the area is considerably larger (2,142 sqft compared to 1,073 sqft). Considering the smaller size and the need for some modernisation in certain areas, the price seems relatively reasonable, though perhaps slightly on the higher end for a property of this size and condition in the area. Nearby comparable properties support this assessment, with some similar properties listed at lower prices, and others at significantly higher prices. The average price per square foot in the area (£582) is also a useful benchmark.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
