The list price of £285,000 seems reasonable considering the property’s size, location, and condition. While similar properties in the area have sold for higher prices, those may offer additional features (more bedrooms, better condition, larger gardens) not present here. The lack of sqft data for nearby properties makes accurate comparison difficult. Given the need for some updating, the price reflects a fair balance between its advantages (location, access to amenities) and drawbacks (condition, garden size).

Based on the photos, the property appears to be habitable but is in need of some modernization and updating. The décor is dated, and some minor repairs or cosmetic improvements might be needed. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but could benefit from an upgrade. Overall, it’s not in poor condition but neither is it in excellent condition.

The property is located in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, a town with good transport links to London and other parts of the UK. It’s close to several schools with ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings, which is a plus for families. While the immediate proximity of shops and other amenities isn’t explicitly stated, its location in a residential area suggests these are likely accessible within a reasonable distance. The proximity to Stevenage train station adds to its desirability.

The property has a small rear garden, which is functional but limited in size. It’s not a large plot by any stretch of the imagination, and offers limited space for outdoor activities or entertainment. Hence a lower score is warranted.
