Property Oracle says ..
The property is a detached bungalow located in Old Wives Lees, Ashford, Kent.
It boasts 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and covers 1,958 square feet, situated on a 1,400 square foot plot. The asking price is £625,000.
The location is relatively rural, yet conveniently located near Chilham train station (1.06km), offering access to Southeastern rail services. Several good-rated primary schools are within a reasonable distance, including Hope View School and Chilham St Mary’s Church of England Primary School, both rated \‘Good\’ by Ofsted. The proximity to these amenities makes this property appealing to families seeking a balance between countryside living and access to essential services.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be well-maintained and in good condition. The interior shows a consistent style and suggests regular upkeep. The kitchen and bathrooms seem updated, and the overall aesthetic is pleasant and inviting. The exterior is also well-presented, with a neat garden and landscaping. There is no apparent need for significant repairs or renovations.
The property includes a substantial garden, offering ample outdoor space. The garden features various elements, including a pond, mature trees, and well-maintained lawns. This adds significant value to the property, particularly in a rural setting.
Considering the average house price in the area (£278,019) and the average price per square foot (£315), the asking price of £625,000 for this 1,958 sqft property seems high. However, the significantly larger plot size and the property’s overall condition and desirable location justify a premium. Nearby comparable properties, while limited in data, suggest that prices can vary considerably based on plot size and condition. A direct comparison is difficult due to the lack of sqft data for many nearby listings, but the higher price point aligns with the larger plot and superior condition relative to other properties in the area.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
