The property is located in Evelyn Crescent, Upper Shirley, Southampton. The area benefits from being relatively close to Southampton Central train station (1.45km) providing good transport links. Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including St Mark’s Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and King Edward VI School. The presence of these schools adds to the desirability of the area for families.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and updating. The interior features dated décor, carpets, and fixtures. The kitchen and bathroom are particularly in need of renovation. The garden, while present, also appears to be somewhat overgrown and requires attention.

The property has a plot size of 1,924 sqft, which is considered a reasonable size for a detached house in this area. The presence of a garden adds to the property’s appeal, although it requires work.

Considering the average price per sqft in the area is £304, and this property is listed at £650,000 with 1,406 sqft, the price per sqft is approximately £462. This is significantly higher than the average. However, the nearby comparable properties on Evelyn Crescent range from £240,000 to £775,000, indicating a wide price range on this street. The higher price of this property may be justified by its size and location, but the significant need for renovation should be factored into any offer. The overall value for money is therefore difficult to assess without a full survey and costings for the necessary renovations.

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