Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Melrose Close, Kettering, which is in close proximity to several highly-rated schools including Millbrook Infant School, Millbrook Junior School, and Kingsley Special Academy, all within a short distance. The nearby Isebrook School and The Latimer Arts College offer secondary education options. Kettering train station is also within a reasonable distance, providing convenient access to public transportation. This positive aspect contributes to a good location score.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally good condition, though some minor cosmetic updates could enhance its overall appeal. The kitchen and bathroom show signs of age, but are functional. The property benefits from a small garden and a shed, which adds to its practicality. However, the small plot size is a factor to consider.
The list price of £185,000 is significantly lower than the average house price in the area (£415,258). Considering the property’s size (690.61 sqft) and condition, the price per sqft is considerably lower than the average (£395). While the property’s condition is not exceptional, its location and the relatively low price point could make it attractive to first-time buyers or investors seeking a property in a convenient location. However, the lack of plot size should be taken into account.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
