The list price of £700,000 seems relatively reasonable considering comparable properties in the area, although more precise square footage data would allow for a more accurate per-square-foot comparison. The fact that it has potential for extension adds value for a prospective buyer. Whilst the condition requires modernisation, this fact is already priced into the listing price.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be well-maintained from the outside. However, the interior shows signs of requiring modernisation and updating. The décor is dated, and some rooms appear to require refreshing, but there is no visible significant damage or structural issues. It’s presented as a property ripe for refurbishment, rather than one in immediate need of major repairs.

The property is situated in Penwood Heights, Newbury, which benefits from its proximity to several highly-rated schools (Woolton Hill Junior School and St Thomas’ Church of England Infant School, both receiving ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted ratings respectively). The relatively close distance to Newbury and its train station enhances commutability. While the immediate vicinity details are limited, the surrounding area appears to be residential and relatively peaceful, contributing to a desirable family living environment.

The property includes a garden of reasonable size, visible in the photographs. While the exact plot size isn’t provided and it does not appear to be exceptionally large, it offers outdoor space beyond what is common in many modern developments. Therefore, the score reflects this satisfactory garden size.
