The property located on Nursery Road in Malvern is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom semi-detached house listed at £225,000. The average house price in the area is significantly higher, at £363,275, with an average price per square foot of £292. However, the provided data lacks square footage for this property and its nearby comparables, making a precise price-per-square-foot comparison impossible.

The property shows significant signs of needing renovation. Wallpaper is peeling, flooring is damaged, and the overall condition of the interior suggests a substantial amount of work is required. The garden is overgrown and unkempt, indicating a lack of recent maintenance. The exterior, while maintaining some period features, also shows signs of neglect. The presence of a detached garage is a positive aspect.

The property’s location in Malvern, Worcestershire, benefits from proximity to several schools, including St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Dyson Perrins Cofe Academy (also rated ‘Good’). Malvern Link and Great Malvern train stations are within reasonable commuting distance. However, the specific quality of the location within Malvern is not fully detailed, making it difficult to give a definitive score.

Given the property’s condition and the need for extensive renovation, the asking price of £225,000 appears to be potentially reasonable, especially considering the higher average house prices in the area. However, without knowing the square footage, a definitive conclusion on the value for money cannot be made. The current condition significantly impacts the overall assessment.

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