Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Carlton, Bedford, and is a 3-bedroom detached house with 1 bathroom. The list price is £350,000, and the property size is 976 sqft. The plot size is 0.00 sqft, which is unusual and requires further clarification.
The property’s location is positive, with Carlton Cofe Primary School, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, being only 0.17 km away. Other well-regarded schools are within a reasonable distance, making it attractive to families. However, information on nearby transportation links is missing, which could impact the overall location score.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and updating. The interior features dated carpets, wallpaper, and fixtures. The kitchen and bathroom are particularly outdated. The garden is overgrown and requires attention. This suggests a lower condition score.
While the plot size is listed as 0.00 sqft, the images show a garden, albeit unkempt. The actual size of the garden needs to be confirmed, as this will influence the land score. The presence of a garden, however, is a positive feature.
Considering the list price of £350,000 and the average price per sqft in the area (£322), the property seems potentially overpriced. The average house price in the area is significantly higher (£594,999), and the average sqft is considerably larger (1,845 sqft). However, the property’s condition and the need for renovation would likely lower its value. The lack of sqft data for nearby listings makes a direct comparison difficult. Further investigation into comparable properties in similar conditions is needed for a more accurate price evaluation.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
