The property is located in Arbury, Cambridge, a residential area with a mix of housing types. The proximity to several well-regarded primary schools, such as Mayfield Primary School and Orchard Park Community Primary School (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), is a positive aspect for families. Cambridge city centre is within reasonable commuting distance, with several train stations offering connections to other parts of the UK. The presence of a garden, albeit one that appears to require some attention, is a desirable feature.

The property’s condition appears to require significant renovation. The interior photographs show outdated fixtures, cosmetic damage to walls and ceilings, and a general lack of modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms are particularly in need of updating. The exterior also suggests a property that has been neglected.

Considering the property’s condition, the list price of £795,000 appears high compared to the average price per square foot in the area (£381). While the property is larger than average (1747 sqft vs 1142 sqft average), the substantial renovation needed significantly impacts its value. Nearby comparable properties on Roseford Road show a range of prices, but none justify the asking price for this property in its current state. A more realistic price would likely reflect the cost of 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. *
