The price might be considered slightly higher than expected based on the visible condition of the property however the location and presence of a garden, regardless of size, help support the price.

The property shows signs of age and requires some modernization. While structurally sound, the interior photos reveal dated fixtures, fittings and cosmetic updates are needed in several areas, including some damp-related issues in one bedroom that needs attention. The garden also seems slightly neglected and could benefit from landscaping. Thus a score of 5 reflects this blend of liveable condition and necessary improvements.
