The list price of £288,000 for a five-bedroom detached house with approximately 1647 sqft seems relatively reasonable considering similar properties in the nearby Goodrich Close area average around £270,000. However, the lack of specific comparable properties with equivalent sqft and condition details makes precise valuation challenging. The potential need for renovations or updates should be factored into the price consideration. A ⁷⁄₁₀ score accounts for the seemingly competitive price relative to similar areas but acknowledges the potential need for investment.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in reasonable condition. While the interior is presented well, there are some signs of the property needing some updating. The kitchen, for example, seems somewhat dated, and the overall aesthetic suggests some cosmetic upgrades could be beneficial. However, the structure itself appears sound, leading to a ⁶⁄₁₀ score.

The property is located in Penshaw, Houghton le Spring, a suburb of Sunderland. Penshaw benefits from its proximity to good schools, as evidenced by the several ‘Good’ Ofsted-rated schools within a reasonable distance, including Barnwell Academy and Shiney Row Primary School. The nearby Chester-le-Street train station offers a transport link, albeit at a 9.94 KM distance. While the location is convenient for families due to the schools, its distance from central Sunderland and other amenities might be a drawback for some, hence the ⁷⁄₁₀ score.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive aspect. However, the size of the plot is not specified, and the visible portion of the garden in the photos doesn’t suggest an extensive area. Therefore, a ⁵⁄₁₀ score reflects the presence of a garden but acknowledges that it may not be exceptionally large or feature unique landscaping.
