Property Oracle says ..
This four-bedroom detached house in Preston, Hitchin, is situated in a desirable village location with good access to local amenities and schools. Preston Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) is a short distance away, making it an appealing option for families. The proximity to Hitchin offers more extensive shopping and transportation options, including a train station.
The property itself features a substantial garden and additional external structures. However, internally, the décor and fittings present a dated aesthetic. The house has a layout that provides generous family living space. The kitchen and bathrooms, while functional, would benefit from modernisation. This is reflected in the overall internal condition which, although not bad, is not luxury or top-of-the-range.
While the lack of square footage information prevents a fully detailed analysis of value per square foot, a comparison with neighbouring properties suggests the list price is relatively competitive within the Preston market for a detached property of this size and features. Potential buyers should be prepared for some renovation to reflect current market trends. The property could present excellent value for money given a fair renovation cost and reasonable purchase price, while remaining competitive. This is further enhanced by the large plot of land available. However, potential purchasers should ensure they take this into consideration when submitting an offer.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
