The listed price of £500,000 seems reasonably priced considering the location and the size of the house (1658 sq ft). However, given the significant amount of refurbishment the property requires, and the lack of comparable square footage data in nearby listings, the price may not reflect excellent value for money until renovation costs are taken into account. Comparing to other properties on Hampden Avenue, the price is towards the lower end, suggesting it reflects the need for modernization and work.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and updating. The interior features outdated decor, worn carpets, and fixtures that suggest significant renovations are required. The garden, while present, also shows signs of needing attention. The property is not in disrepair but is far from modern or well-maintained.

The property is located in Beckenham, BR3, a suburb of London. It benefits from proximity to Balgowan Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and is within reasonable distance of other schools. The Clock House train station is also nearby, providing convenient transport links. While Beckenham is a desirable area, the specific street’s desirability would require more detailed local market knowledge for a precise score. The area is generally considered family-friendly and relatively safe.

The property has a garden, which is a positive feature, particularly for families. However, the size of the garden appears to be relatively small based on the provided images, and it doesn’t seem exceptionally large or feature special landscaping.
