The list price of £495,000 seems slightly high, given the property’s condition and relatively small plot size, especially when compared to similar properties in the area. The need for modernisation is a significant factor to consider. However, the highly desirable location of Bishopthorpe justifies a price premium. The price is in line with other houses on the same street but several are listed at a lower price. A more thorough assessment of the property’s internal dimensions, quality of construction, and a comparative analysis with recent sales prices would be needed for a precise valuation.

The property appears to be structurally sound, although the interior decor is dated and in need of modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, show their age and would benefit from an upgrade. While there isn’t evidence of significant repairs needed, the overall condition could be improved with refurbishment to bring it up to current standards. The existing fixtures and fittings seem functional but are not modern or stylish.

Bishopthorpe is a highly sought-after village location, known for its peaceful atmosphere, excellent schools and proximity to York. The property’s situation on Garbett Way adds to its desirability, suggesting a quiet residential area. The presence of several well-regarded schools nearby, including Naburn Church of England Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted), further enhances its appeal to families. Good access to York city centre is another positive factor, whilst the relative closeness to transport links adds to the overall score.

The property includes a garden, though its size is not specified and based on images it appears relatively small and in need of landscaping. While the presence of a garden is positive, it’s not extensive, and its current state detracts from the overall land score. The addition of a garage provides some additional outdoor space.
