Property Oracle says ..

Location: The property is located in Preston, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, which is a desirable area. It’s close to the town of Hitchin, offering good access to transportation links via Hitchin train station (Govia Thameslink Railway). The proximity to Princess Helena College and Preston Primary School, both within a short distance, adds to its family-friendly appeal. The Ofsted rating of Preston Primary School is “Good”, further enhancing the desirability of the location for families with young children.

Condition: Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It is well-maintained, with a traditional style that has been updated to maintain its character. There are no visible signs of significant wear and tear or the need for renovation. The landscaping is also well-maintained, adding to the overall impression of a well-cared-for property.

Land: The property boasts a substantial plot size of 5,301 square feet, providing ample garden space. The images clearly show extensive well-kept lawns and mature landscaping, indicative of a generous and attractive outdoor area.

Price: The list price of £3,000,000 for a 3,469.40 sqft property works out to approximately £864 per sqft. This is significantly higher than the average price per sqft in the area (£537). However, several factors justify this higher price. Firstly, the property’s size is considerably larger than the average (3,469.40 sqft vs 1,793 sqft). Secondly, the property’s condition, location, and the extensive land contribute to its higher value. Nearby comparable properties, although limited in data, also support the pricing, with some exceeding the list price. The overall quality and condition of the property, combined with its location and land size, support the higher price per sqft.

Therefore, we give this property 9 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
