While the listing price of £470,000 appears competitive when compared to other plots in the immediate vicinity (also listed around £470,000-£570,000), the lack of information on the final house size and specifications makes a precise price-per-square-foot comparison impossible, and makes a definitive judgment about value difficult. The lack of finished property data limits the precise assessment of value for money. The score takes into account the overall market context and the similar pricing of nearby plots, but it is not as high as it would be if detailed property information was provided.

Based on the provided artist’s impressions, the proposed properties appear well-designed and of high-quality construction. The visuals suggest a modern, well-finished aesthetic with attention to detail in the design. However, the score is not a 10 as it’s based on artist renderings, not an actual property inspection, and minor unforeseen issues could occur during construction.

Smarden is a desirable village in Kent, known for its tranquil setting and proximity to good schools. The presence of Smarden Primary School within a short distance (1.95km) adds to the family-friendly appeal. While transport links aren’t immediately adjacent, Headcorn station is within reasonable commuting distance (5.66km), suggesting good accessibility for those working outside the village. This makes the location attractive, but the limited information on local amenities and the precise nature of the surroundings could impact the score.

The plot size of 1,279.3 m² is substantial, offering ample space for a family home with gardens and potentially other outdoor features. The plans show a well-laid-out garden, reflecting good use of the available space. The score is not a 10 due to a lack of explicit detail regarding the garden’s final design and landscaping features.
