Property Oracle says ..
Countesthorpe is a popular village just outside Leicester, benefiting from good local amenities and transport links. The property is located on Southfield Close, a modern development. The nearby Greenfield Primary School is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, and other schools are within a reasonable distance. Train stations such as South Wigston are within commuting distance of Leicester city centre. The average house price on Southfield Close is significantly higher than the average for the wider area, suggesting strong demand.
The property itself appears to be in excellent condition, based on the provided photographs. It’s a modern build, with a high-quality finish throughout. There is no visible evidence of wear and tear or the need for repairs or renovation. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and well-equipped. The extension to the rear is a significant addition, adding considerable living space and value.
The property benefits from a good-sized garden, which is well-maintained and landscaped. The inclusion of a substantial outbuilding, seemingly equipped as a games room/bar, further enhances the appeal and functionality of the property. The plot size of 1,419.90 sqft is a reasonable size for a detached property.
Considering the property’s excellent condition, desirable location, and additional features such as the garden and outbuilding, the list price of £475,000 appears to be in line with the average house price in the area. While the average price per sqft in the area is £402, this property’s larger size and high-quality finish justify the higher overall price. The lack of sqft data for nearby properties makes a precise comparison difficult, however, the higher average price on Southfield Close supports the list price.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
