The list price of £650,000 seems somewhat high considering the condition of the property. While the location is desirable, the necessary renovations would significantly impact the overall cost. A lack of precise square footage details from the property listing also makes a completely accurate price comparison difficult; however, comparing to similar properties in the area, although the price is high, considering the amount of land it sits on, it is likely not unreasonable.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation. While the structure seems sound, the interior decor and fixtures are dated, and the property shows signs of wear and tear and is cluttered, suggesting the need for refurbishment throughout. The kitchen and bathrooms specifically appear outdated.

Knebworth is a desirable village in Hertfordshire, known for its good schools and its proximity to Knebworth House and train station with links to London. The property’s location on Swangley’s Lane places it within easy walking distance of Knebworth Primary and Nursery School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The proximity to the train station adds to its appeal. However, the score is not higher due to the lack of detailed information on the immediate surroundings and any potential drawbacks such as noise pollution.

The property includes a garden of decent size that provides ample space, and even has a greenhouse. Although the images show that the garden is overgrown and in need of maintenance, the potential is there for a beautifully landscaped outdoor area.
