The property is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom terraced house located on Sackville Street in Kettering, Northamptonshire. It is listed at £170,000 and has a floor area of 776.08 sqft. The property benefits from a small rear garden with a shed. The location is reasonably convenient, with Kettering train station approximately 1.6km away providing links to East Midlands Railway services. Several primary schools are within a short distance, including St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) which is just 0.06km away. The proximity to these amenities is a positive factor. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally fair condition, though some modernisation would likely enhance its appeal. The interior shows some dated features, including wallpaper and flooring. While the property is habitable, potential buyers should budget for some improvements. The plot size is very small, offering limited outdoor space. While there is a small garden and shed, this is a significant constraint compared to other properties in the area. Considering the list price of £170,000, the average price in the area is £259,400, and the average price per sqft is £308. This property is significantly below the average price, and although the sqft is not directly comparable due to missing data in nearby listings, the price seems relatively reasonable given its condition and the small plot size. However, the lower price may reflect the need for modernisation and the limited outdoor space. Further comparable sales data would be needed for a definitive conclusion. The property is a good option for first-time buyers or investors looking for a property that requires some modernisation, or those who prioritize proximity to amenities and transport links over a large garden.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
