Property Oracle says ..
Bishops Down Park Road, Tunbridge Wells is located in the Culverden area, which is known for its affluent residential character and proximity to excellent amenities. The property benefits from being within walking distance of several highly-rated schools, including Bishops Down Primary School and Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, both receiving ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted ratings respectively. Tunbridge Wells town centre, with its extensive shopping, dining, and cultural attractions, is also easily accessible. The Southeastern railway line provides convenient links to London and other major cities. This contributes to a high score for location.
The property itself is presented in excellent condition. The images show a well-maintained apartment with modern fixtures and fittings within a period building. The interior features high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and a fireplace, indicative of a traditional property that has been tastefully updated. The exterior is also well-kept, suggesting a low maintenance requirement. There is no evidence of wear and tear or the need for significant renovation. This supports a high condition score.
The property includes a private outdoor space in the form of a sizable decked balcony/terrace. While not a large garden, this provides valuable additional living space and outdoor amenity, which is a positive aspect of the property.
Considering the list price of £290,000, the average price of properties in the area (£509,521) and the average price per square foot (£456), the property appears to be reasonably priced, especially considering its location, condition, and the included private outdoor space. The significantly lower price compared to the area average may be due to the smaller size of the apartment (621.08 sqft) compared to the area average (1,115 sqft). However, the price per sqft is not significantly lower than the area average, indicating that the asking price is competitive within the market. This suggests a good value for money.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
