The listed price of £175,000 for a one-bedroom apartment in Portishead seems reasonable, but not exceptionally good value. Considering nearby comparable properties, particularly those in retirement complexes, the price aligns with the market. The lack of sufficient square footage data for comparable properties prevents a precise per-square-foot analysis. However, the property’s age, condition, and limited land area keep it from being considered exceptionally good value. The modest size of the apartment also influences this score.

The property appears well-maintained, with no obvious signs of major disrepair based on the provided photos. The interior decor is somewhat dated, suggesting that some cosmetic upgrades might enhance the property’s appeal. The kitchen and bathroom, while functional, appear to be original fixtures and could benefit from modernization. The overall condition is satisfactory but could be improved with some updating, thus justifying the 6 score.

Portishead is a desirable coastal town in North Somerset, offering a good quality of life. The property’s proximity to several good schools (St Peter’s Church of England Primary School, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, and Gordano School are all within a kilometer) and its relatively close distance to train stations (though requiring a short drive or bus journey) contributes to a positive location score. The High Street’s proximity also provides easy access to local amenities and shops. However, the specific location within Brampton Way, being part of a retirement complex, may limit its appeal to a broader range of buyers, hence the score below 8.

The property has limited outdoor space. While access to communal gardens is available, the lack of a private garden significantly impacts this score. Access to a communal garden is a benefit for residents but does not compare to a private outdoor space, resulting in a low score.
