The property is located in Bensham Grove, Thornton Heath, Croydon, which is in south London. Thornton Heath has a train station providing links to central London and other parts of the city. The area also benefits from several primary schools, some of which are rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. The proximity to these amenities makes it a reasonably convenient location. However, the immediate surroundings of the property appear to be a mix of residential properties and some undergoing construction, which may impact the desirability of the location.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. The interior shows dated decor and finishes in various rooms. While the structure itself seems sound, significant cosmetic work would likely be needed to bring it up to modern standards. There is evidence of exposed brickwork and what looks like some damp patches in some of the rooms.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive feature. The garden seems reasonably sized for a property of this type in the area, although the images do not provide a completely clear view of its dimensions.

Considering the list price of £475,000, the average price in the area of £397,171, and the average price per square foot of £437, the asking price seems slightly high. While the property has three bedrooms and a garden, its condition suggests that a significant investment in renovations will be necessary. The average price per sqft for the area is lower than the implied price per sqft for this property (£475,000 / 899.13 sqft = £528.38 per sqft). The nearby comparable properties, while limited in data, also suggest the pricing may be on the higher side, given the need for renovation.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
