The property is located on Appleby Road in Kendal, Cumbria. Kendal is a popular market town with good transport links, including a train station (Kendal station) less than half a kilometer away. There are also several schools within a reasonable distance, including Sandgate School and The Queen Katherine School, offering various educational options. The proximity to these amenities contributes positively to the location score.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally good condition, although some minor cosmetic work may be needed. The kitchen and bathroom seem recently updated. However, some walls show signs of wear and tear, specifically some markings on the walls in the bedrooms and some paintwork that requires attention in the bathroom. The property retains some original features, such as exposed beams, which add character. Overall, the condition is satisfactory but not exceptional.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive aspect, although the images suggest it may require some landscaping. The size of the garden is not specified, but it appears to be of reasonable size for an end-of-terrace property. This contributes positively to the land score.

The list price is £200,000. Considering the average price in the area is significantly higher (£475,979), and the average price per square foot is £265, this property is listed at a considerably lower price. However, the smaller size (247.57 sqft) and the need for some minor cosmetic improvements should be factored in. The lower price compared to similar properties on Appleby Road and nearby streets, such as 55 Appleby Road (£190,000) and 47 Appleby Road (£178,500), suggests that the list price may represent reasonable value, despite the smaller size. The property’s traditional character and the garden also add value. The price is therefore considered reasonable in the context of the local market and the property’s features.

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