Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Staplehurst, Kent, a village in the Maidstone district of South East England. The area benefits from a train station (Staplehurst station, Southeastern line) within a short distance, providing convenient access to surrounding towns and cities. There are also several primary schools within a reasonable distance, including Staplehurst School (0.76km), although its Ofsted rating is listed as ‘Requires Improvement’. Other nearby primary schools have ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings. The proximity to these amenities contributes positively to the location score.
Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be well-maintained and recently renovated. The kitchen and bathroom have been modernised, and the interior décor is contemporary. There is no visible evidence of significant repairs needed. This suggests a high condition score.
The property includes a garden, which is visible in several photographs. The garden appears to be of average size for a property of this type in the area, containing a patio area, lawn, and some planting. The presence of the garden is a positive factor.
The list price of £465,000 is slightly below the average house price in the area (£582,208). However, the average price per square foot in the area is £353, and this property is significantly larger than average (12,591 sqft compared to 1,646 sqft). Considering the property’s apparent good condition, the presence of a garden, and its location, the list price may represent reasonable value for money, especially given the size. However, the lack of sqft data for nearby comparable properties makes a definitive assessment challenging. Further analysis of comparable properties with available sqft data would be beneficial in confirming the price rationale.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
