Property Oracle says ..
Ambleside is a highly desirable location in the Lake District, known for its stunning scenery, proximity to outdoor activities, and charming village atmosphere. The property’s position on Wansfell Road places it conveniently close to the village centre, offering easy access to shops, amenities, and transportation links. The presence of Ambleside Cofe Primary School within a short distance is also a significant positive for families.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally fair condition. While some rooms show signs of age and could benefit from modernisation, there is no evidence of significant structural damage or disrepair. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, appear dated and would likely require updating to meet modern standards. However, the overall structural integrity seems sound.
The property includes a small garden area, which adds to its appeal, although the size is not specified. The presence of a garage is an additional benefit.
Considering the list price of £410,000, and the average price of £475,979 for properties in the area, the property appears reasonably priced, especially given the need for some modernisation. The average price per sqft of £265 provides a useful benchmark, however, without the sqft of the property, a precise comparison is impossible. The nearby comparable listings, while lacking sqft information, suggest that the list price is competitive within the Ambleside market. Several properties with similar characteristics are listed for prices within a similar range. The need for some updating is factored into this assessment.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
