The list price of £600,000 is relatively high compared to some nearby properties. While there are comparable properties at similar prices, a lack of precise square footage data for many nearby listings hinders a conclusive price-per-square-foot comparison. The relatively high asking price, coupled with the absence of comprehensive comparative data and the average price per square foot of neighboring streets being missing or zero, results in a somewhat moderate score. Further investigation is required into the specifics of comparable sales to confirm whether the price is reasonable or not.

Based on the photos, the property appears well-maintained but not new. The interior shows a consistent style, suggesting a lack of recent major renovations, while the exterior and gardens are presentable, indicating regular upkeep. There are no apparent signs of significant disrepair, but the property’s overall condition would benefit from some refreshing and modernizing elements to achieve a higher score.

Istead Rise is a desirable village in Kent, offering a balance of rural and suburban living. Its proximity to good schools, such as Istead Rise Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and relatively easy access to transport links, including several Southeastern train stations within a reasonable distance, contributes to its appeal. However, the limited information on local amenities and the village’s size itself may limit its appeal to some buyers.

The property includes a garden of moderate size. While it features a patio area and some planting, it doesn’t appear particularly extensive. Considering the property type and the overall size of the property, the garden is neither exceptionally large nor extremely small; it’s adequate for the property size but does not stand out as a significant feature.
