The property is located in Earley, Reading, a suburb with a generally good reputation. The proximity to several well-regarded schools, such as Aldryngton Primary School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Maiden Erlegh School (Outstanding Ofsted rating), is a significant positive. Multiple train stations are within a reasonable distance, providing convenient access to Reading and London. However, the specific location within Earley and the immediate street environment would need further investigation to give a definitive location score.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom fixtures are dated, and the decor throughout suggests a significant lack of recent updates. The property shows signs of wear and tear, indicating a need for some level of renovation to bring it up to modern standards. The garden appears reasonably sized and well-maintained, offering a pleasant outdoor space.

The property is a semi-detached house with 950 sqft and a plot size of 1,164 sqft. The list price is £525,000. The average price per sqft in the area is £723. Considering the property’s condition and the need for modernisation, the list price appears to be at the higher end of the market value, especially when compared to similar properties in the area. Nearby comparable semi-detached properties on Joel Close have sold for significantly less, suggesting the list price might be slightly optimistic. However, the presence of a garage and a well-maintained garden could justify a somewhat higher price.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
