The property is located in Ashbrooke, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. Ashbrooke is a desirable residential area known for its larger properties and generally good schools. The proximity to several well-regarded schools, such as Hill View Junior Academy and St Aidan’s Catholic Academy (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), is a significant positive. Transportation links appear reasonable with Sunderland train station being within a 2km radius. However, the provided data lacks detail on the quality of local shops and amenities, preventing a more comprehensive assessment of the location’s desirability. Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It has undergone significant modernisation and extension, resulting in a contemporary and well-maintained interior. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and stylish. There is no visible evidence of wear and tear or the need for repairs or renovations. The property includes a substantial garden. The photos show a well-maintained lawn, mature trees, and a large decked area with a hot tub and outdoor kitchen. The size of the plot is not specified, but the visual evidence suggests a generous amount of outdoor space. The list price of £585,000 is significantly higher than the average house price in the area (£222,851). However, the property is considerably larger than the average (2,163 sqft vs 1,560 sqft) and is a detached property, which commands a premium. While the average price per square foot in the area is £142, this property’s price per square foot is considerably higher. The justification for this higher price per square foot is the property’s superior condition, significant recent renovations and extensions, and the inclusion of a large, well-landscaped garden with high-end outdoor features. A direct comparison with similar properties in the immediate vicinity is difficult due to the lack of square footage data for the nearby listings. However, a nearby property on Ledbury Road is listed at £650,000, suggesting the £585,000 price is within the range of comparable properties, though still at the higher end.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
