The list price of £450,000 seems reasonable for a 3-bedroom property in Hovingham. Considering its size and location, it could be argued the price is competitive with similar properties in the area. However, the need for modernisation may impact the perception of value for some buyers. Therefore a middle-ground score is deemed appropriate.

The property shows signs of its age and requires some modernisation and updating. While structurally sound, the interior décor and fittings appear dated. The kitchen, in particular, could benefit from a significant upgrade. The overall condition is average for a property of its age and style.

Hovingham is a desirable village in the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The proximity to good primary schools (Hovingham Church of England and Terrington Church of England) adds to its appeal for families. While transportation links may not be immediately adjacent, the village’s idyllic setting and relative proximity to larger towns like Malton suggest a location that will attract buyers seeking a rural lifestyle.

The property includes some outdoor space, but it is relatively limited in size and may not suit buyers looking for extensive gardens. The presence of a patio and small garden is a positive, but it is not a significant feature of the property.
