The property is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage located on Benslow Lane in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. It has a total area of 645 sqft and a plot size of 545 sqft. The list price is £425,000.
The property is located within close proximity to Hitchin railway station (0.58km), providing easy access to London and other major towns. Several highly-rated schools are also nearby, including St Andrew’s Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School and Hitchin Girls’ School, both rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. This makes the location highly desirable for families.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior is well-maintained and presented, with a modern kitchen and bathroom. There is no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations being required. The property benefits from a small, manageable garden.
Considering the average house price in the area is £491,094 and the average price per sqft is £527, the list price of £425,000 for this 645 sqft cottage seems reasonable, particularly given its desirable location and good condition. However, it is worth noting that nearby properties on Benslow Lane have sold for significantly higher prices, suggesting that the list price may be slightly undervalued, although this could be due to the smaller size and type of property.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
