The list price of £1,500,000 is high for Alton, even considering the size (16 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms) and potential for rental income given that it is a fully licensed HMO. Nearby comparable properties are considerably less expensive, indicating the price is at the higher end of the market. The need for renovation also impacts its value. Considering the potential income as an HMO and location, the price is not unreasonable, but it isn’t a bargain.

The provided photos show a property that requires some level of modernisation and repair. While the exterior appears relatively well-maintained, the interior images show unfinished work, such as exposed walls, and an overall appearance suggesting renovations or repairs are needed. The property is not in disrepair, but neither is it in excellent condition. The presence of a pool requires additional maintenance consideration.

The property is located on Kings Road in Alton, Hampshire, a desirable area known for its good schools and amenities. The proximity to Alton train station (2.07km) and several well-regarded schools (The Butts Primary, St. Lawrence C of E Primary, Amery Hill School, and others within a reasonable distance) adds to its appeal. Kings Road itself suggests a more affluent residential area, further enhancing its desirability. However, the lack of detailed information on immediate neighborhood characteristics prevents a higher score.

The property boasts a substantial garden and a swimming pool. While the exact plot size is unavailable, the images suggest a sizeable outdoor space, justifying a score above average. However, the garden also seems to need upkeep and the swimming pool shows signs of neglect.
