Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, a suburb of Oxford. Kidlington benefits from good transport links, with Oxford Parkway train station approximately 1.51 km away, providing access to London Marylebone. Several primary schools with good Ofsted ratings are within a short distance, including West Kidlington Primary and Nursery School and St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, both rated ‘Good’. Gosford Hill School, a secondary school, is also relatively close, although its Ofsted rating is ‘Requires Improvement’. This suggests a reasonably convenient location for families.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in fair condition. While it doesn’t appear to be in need of major renovations, some modernisation could enhance its appeal. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but dated. The interior is generally clean and well-maintained, but could benefit from some updating to improve its overall presentation. The property has a garden, which is a positive feature.
The list price of £385,000 is slightly below the average price for the area (£469,634). However, the average property size in the area is 1,346 sqft, significantly larger than this property at 1,022.57 sqft. Considering the property’s condition and smaller size, the list price appears to be reasonably competitive, although not necessarily a bargain. The lack of plot size data makes a definitive statement on value difficult. Nearby comparable properties on Lock Crescent support this assessment, with prices ranging from £108,000 to £370,000, indicating considerable price variation within the street.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
