The property is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom detached house located on Varley Road, Slaithwaite. It is situated in the Colne Valley area of Kirklees, West Yorkshire. The property benefits from being close to Slaithwaite Train Station (0.61km), and several well-regarded schools including Nields Junior Infant And Nursery School (0.48km) and Slaithwaite Church Of England Voluntary Controlled Junior And Infant School (1.36km), both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

The house itself appears to be a period property, exhibiting traditional features such as exposed beams and stained-glass windows. The images suggest the property is well-maintained and in good condition, although some aspects may reflect personal taste rather than objective condition. The property also includes a substantial garden, as evidenced by the aerial and ground-level photographs showing extensive landscaping and mature plants.

The list price of £750,000 is significantly higher than the average house price in the area (£277,736). However, the property is considerably larger than the average house (3,519.80 sqft vs 1,097 sqft). While the average price per square foot in the area is £253, the lack of comparable property data (nearby listings have missing sqft data) makes it difficult to definitively assess whether the list price represents good value. The property’s size, condition, location, and substantial garden all contribute to its higher price point compared to average local properties. Further analysis using comparable properties with available square footage would be needed for a more precise price evaluation.

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