Hale Barns is a desirable location in Trafford, known for its excellent schools and convenient access to transport links. The property’s proximity to Well Green Primary School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Saint Ambrose College (Good Ofsted rating) is a significant advantage for families. The nearby train stations (Hale, Ashley, Altrincham) provide easy access to Manchester and beyond. This contributes to a high location score. The property shows its age in several areas. The kitchen and bathrooms appear dated and may require modernisation. While the structure seems sound, some interior finishes and fixtures look worn, suggesting a need for some updating. The overall condition is not poor, but it’s not modern either. The property benefits from a sizeable garden, offering ample outdoor space. The presence of a shed and a conservatory further enhances the outdoor area. The garden’s size is a positive aspect. The list price of £725,000 is significantly below the average price of £1,248,254 for the area. Considering the property’s size (1,618.89 sqft) and the average price per sqft (£582), a higher price might be expected. However, the property’s condition and the presence of comparable properties at lower prices in the vicinity suggest that the list price could be considered reasonable, especially in the current market climate. The lower price may be reflective of the need for modernisation.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
