The list price of £500,000 requires careful consideration. Nearby listings show a range of prices, and there is a lack of comparable properties with square footage information. The granted planning permission for an additional dwelling adds considerable value, but it also presents risk and requires an analysis of the development’s potential return compared to the existing structure’s worth. Thus, the price appears to be roughly inline with the local market, particularly considering the potential building project.

Based on the photos, the property shows signs of age and would likely benefit from some modernisation. While structurally sound, some of the fixtures and fittings look dated, and the overall aesthetic leans towards needing refurbishment to improve its overall condition and market appeal. The kitchen and bathrooms show a mix of newer and older elements, indicating inconsistencies in upkeep.

The property is located in Longmeadow, Stevenage, which benefits from proximity to good schools like Shephalbury Park Primary School and Longmeadow Primary School (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and is within a reasonable distance of Stevenage train station. The presence of nearby amenities isn’t explicitly detailed but the area’s reputation suggests ease of access to shops and other services. This makes it an attractive location for families, although proximity to main roads/traffic is unknown and may impact the score.

The property includes a garden of decent size, offering outdoor space. While not extensive, it’s larger than many properties in the area, providing a good degree of privacy and space for relaxation or potential landscaping improvements, thus warranting a higher than average score for land.
