The listing price of £400,000 appears to be in line with other properties of a similar type and size in the immediate vicinity, though the lack of sq ft data on comparable properties limits accuracy. Considering the property’s need for refurbishment, the price is potentially competitive, while also providing an opportunity for buyers to add value through modernisation. Given the need for modernisation, this price falls in the ‘reasonable’ category, but it’s important to note that other properties in Hermitage can command higher prices, depending on condition and features.

The property appears to be in reasonable condition, though it shows its age and would benefit from some modernisation, particularly in the bathrooms and kitchen. The interior décor is dated, the carpeting needs replacement, and overall the property looks ready for refurbishment and updating. There is evidence of good maintenance, and no major structural damage is apparent in the provided photos.

Hermitage is a popular village in West Berkshire, known for its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to Thatcham and Newbury, offering good access to amenities and transport links. The presence of several well-regarded primary schools within a reasonable distance further enhances its appeal to families. However, the village’s limited local shops and services could be seen as a minor drawback for some buyers. The property itself is on Marlston Road which offers a good balance between peaceful residential life and relative proximity to the amenities of Hermitage.

The property boasts a reasonably sized garden, offering potential for improvement and outdoor enjoyment, which is more generous than many properties in the area. The garden is largely unlandscaped, but is a good size for families and offers a degree of privacy. The presence of a detached garage is also a beneficial feature.
