Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom detached house located in St Albans, Hertfordshire, with a list price of £1,300,000. The property has a sizeable plot of 2,158 sqft and the internal living space is 1,935.67 sqft. The location is in the Verulam area of St Albans, which is generally considered a desirable residential area. The proximity to St Albans Abbey train station (0.82km) offers convenient access to London and other areas. Several well-regarded schools are also within a reasonable distance, including The Marlborough Science Academy (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and St Columba’s College. This makes the location attractive to families. The property appears to be in excellent condition based on the provided images. The interior is modern, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms are updated and well-equipped. The garden is a significant feature, offering a good-sized lawn and patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. The presence of a garage is also a positive aspect. Considering the average house price in the area is £771,250 and the average price per sqft is £670, the listed price of £1,300,000 for this property seems high, especially given that comparable properties on Havercroft Close have sold for significantly less. However, the larger plot size, excellent condition, and desirable location could justify a higher price per sqft than the area average. Further investigation into recent comparable sales in the immediate vicinity would be beneficial to determine a more precise valuation.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
