Considering the property’s size (990 sqft), location, condition (needing some modernisation), and the presence of a garden, the asking price of £550,000 appears to be within the reasonable range for the area. While some nearby properties have sold for more and others for less, it appears competitive relative to comparable properties with similar characteristics. However, the price per sqft isn’t available to provide a definitive comparison.

The property appears well-maintained from the provided photos but shows signs of needing some updating. Whilst the garden is well established, the interior design is dated and could benefit from modernization. The kitchen and bathrooms show wear and tear and while functional are not contemporary. The overall condition is good, but not excellent.

The property is situated in Shoreham-by-Sea, Downside, which benefits from being close to Buckingham Park, providing green space and recreational opportunities. The proximity to good schools (Buckingham Park Primary School and St Peter’s Catholic Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and a relatively short distance to Shoreham-by-Sea train station enhances its appeal. While not in the most central location of Shoreham-by-Sea, the convenient access to amenities and transport makes it a desirable area. The surrounding streets (Parkside, Western Road etc.) show a good range of property values, adding to the location’s overall score.

The property has a garden of reasonable size, suitable for relaxation and outdoor activities. However, it is not exceptionally large, placing it in the mid-range of garden sizes. It is adequately sized for a family home but is not extensive.
