The property is a semi-detached bungalow located on Northwood Road in Tankerton, Whitstable. It has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a total area of 780.50 sqft, which is significantly smaller than the average property size in the area (1,284 sqft). The plot size is also 780.50 sqft. The property benefits from a good location, being within reasonable proximity to several schools, including St Mary’s Catholic Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Westmeads Community Infant School (rated ‘Outstanding’). Transport links are also good, with Whitstable train station approximately 1.66 km away, providing convenient access to Canterbury and other areas. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom fixtures appear dated, and the interior décor throughout suggests a need for refurbishment. The garden is of a reasonable size for a property of this type, and it appears relatively well-maintained. Considering the average house price in the area is £597,609 and the average price per sqft is £465, the list price of £399,950 for this 780.50 sqft property seems relatively reasonable, especially given its condition and size. However, the lower price might also be reflective of the property’s need for modernisation. Nearby comparable properties show a range of prices, with some significantly higher and others lower, suggesting some variability in pricing within the area. The lack of sqft data for nearby properties makes accurate comparison challenging. The property’s smaller size and need for renovation are factors that likely contribute to its lower price compared to the area average. The presence of a garden is a positive aspect.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
