The listed price of £425,000 appears to be in line with other properties on Station Road, reflecting the premium associated with a desirable village location. However, the absence of square footage data makes a precise price per square foot comparison impossible. The need for modernisation could slightly suppress the price compared to similar properties in better condition, resulting in a score slightly below the top range.

The property shows signs of age and would benefit from some modernisation. While the structure appears sound, several rooms display dated décor and furnishings. The kitchen is functional but requires updating. The overall condition is fair; not dilapidated, but certainly not luxurious or modern, requiring some investment to bring up to current standards.

Hornby is a desirable village in the Upper Lune Valley, known for its picturesque setting and proximity to good schools. The close proximity to Hornby St Margaret’s Church of England Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) is a significant plus for families. While transport links might not be as extensive as larger towns, the village atmosphere and relative peacefulness contribute to its desirability, justifying a higher than average location score.

The property boasts a garden, which adds value, but its size and landscaping are not extensive. Based on image evidence the garden is useable and looks reasonably well kept but isn’t exceptionally large, hence the mid-range score.
