The property is located in Ashford, Kent, in the Upper Weald locality. The area benefits from relatively close proximity to several railway stations providing links to London and other major cities (Charing, Ashford International and Pluckley). There are also a number of schools within a reasonable distance, including Goldwyn School which has an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating. The proximity to these amenities suggests a desirable location, although the specific quality of the immediate neighbourhood would require further investigation. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It has been recently modernised and well maintained, featuring a contemporary kitchen and updated bathrooms. The property also displays traditional features such as exposed beams, which have been integrated tastefully into the design. There is no evidence of significant repairs or renovations required. The property includes a sizable garden area, as shown in the aerial photographs. The plot size is 1,095.77 sqft, which is a considerable amount of land for a cottage, especially in a potentially desirable area. This contributes positively to the overall value of the property. The list price of £685,000 seems relatively high compared to the average house price in the area (£278,019). However, the average price per sqft in the area is £315, and this property is larger than average (886.84 sqft). The significantly higher price may be justified by the property’s excellent condition, the sizable plot, and its location in a potentially desirable area. Further analysis of comparable properties in the immediate vicinity, specifically those with similar features (size, condition, land), would be needed to definitively assess the reasonableness of the list price. The lack of sqft data for nearby listings makes a precise comparison difficult.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
