The listed price of £500,000 seems reasonable considering comparable properties in the area. Nearby listings show a range of prices, some higher and some lower. The fact the subject property has a garage and some garden space also justifies the price point. However, given the need for modernisation, the price does not represent exceptional value, which prevents a higher score.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in average condition. While structurally sound, the interior shows signs of needing some modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms are dated, and the carpets appear worn. The garden, though present, could benefit from some landscaping. The overall impression is of a property that is habitable but in need of updating.

The property is situated in Hawkins Crescent, Shoreham-by-Sea, which benefits from being close to several good schools such as Holmbush Primary Academy (rated ‘Good’) and Shoreham Academy (‘Outstanding’), as well as relatively close proximity to train stations and local amenities. The area appears to be a desirable residential location based on the prices of nearby properties. However, the exact distance to shops and other amenities is not specified, potentially limiting the score.

The property has a garden of reasonable size and is accompanied by a separate garage structure which adds value. The inclusion of a pond and greenhouse indicates a more mature garden than some newer developments. The absence of a precise plot size makes it difficult to provide a higher score, so this is a score representative of a ‘typical’ garden size within the area rather than being exceptionally large.
