The list price of £274,000 for a one-bedroom cottage in Burton Lazars seems reasonable when considering the lack of information regarding average price per sqft for similar properties in the village. However, the surrounding property prices are relatively high which helps justify the list price somewhat, especially given the property’s potential for extension. The lack of precise square footage data for comparable properties makes a conclusive assessment challenging. The presented photographs suggest the property has been well looked after.

The property appears to be well-maintained and presented. The interior photographs show a recently updated or refurbished kitchen and bathroom, indicating good condition in key areas. Some elements suggest the property retains some original features, which is consistent with an older property, suggesting a balance of character and modern updates.

Burton Lazars is a desirable village in Leicestershire, offering a peaceful rural setting while remaining relatively close to Melton Mowbray for amenities. The proximity to Melton Mowbray (approximately 1.5 miles) provides access to better transport links (East Midlands Railway), shopping and other services not readily available in Burton Lazars itself. The presence of nearby schools, albeit requiring travel, also adds to the appeal for families. However, the limited local amenities within the immediate vicinity slightly detracts from the overall location score.

While the property includes a garden, its size appears modest based on the provided photographs. There’s enough space for outdoor seating and some planting, but it doesn’t appear to be extensive, especially when compared to other properties in the area. Therefore a middling score is appropriate.
