The list price of £299,950 seems relatively reasonable considering comparable properties in the area, especially in the context of similar retirement properties. The price per square foot isn’t available for the subject property. However, taking into account its features and condition, the price is competitive but not exceptionally low compared to average comparable properties, leading to a slightly lower score.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be in reasonable condition, with a relatively modern kitchen and bathroom. However, some elements might benefit from updating, as indicated by what looks like older flooring. The overall presentation is presentable but not high-end. Overall this is why a 6 is given, not a higher score.

The property benefits from a convenient location near Thatcham train station, providing easy access to Newbury and other areas. The proximity to local shops, a doctors’ surgery, and highly-rated schools (Kennet School, in particular, is Outstanding) adds to its appeal. However, the overall location score is not a 10 because it’s situated within a retirement development, which might limit the appeal to a specific demographic. This limits overall potential and accessibility.

The property includes a small garden, which is a positive feature for a bungalow, but it’s not expansive. This garden space adds to the livability of the property for a retirement property. Compared to properties with larger gardens, this one receives a mid-range score.
