The property is a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with a sizable 3,610 square foot interior and a 2,047 square foot plot. The photos show the property to be in good condition, with a recently updated kitchen and what appears to be a well-maintained garden. The location in Bedford’s Castle area places it within proximity to several schools (including Castle Newnham School and Bedford Free School, both rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted), and is also conveniently located relative to Bedford St Johns train station.
The list price of £650,000 is notably higher than the average house price in Bedford (£302,231). However, the property’s significantly larger size (3,610 sqft vs the average 1,047 sqft) and the desirable location contribute to this price difference. While precise price-per-square-foot data for comparable properties isn’t available, nearby properties on Waterloo Road have sold for prices ranging from £345,000 to £725,000, suggesting that the list price falls within the range of similar properties in the area. The presence of a garden adds to the property’s value.
Considering the property’s size, condition, location, and the presence of a garden, the list price, while high compared to the Bedford average, appears to be relatively reasonable within the context of the local market.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
