The property is located on Boddington Road in Kettering, which is in the Wicksteed locality of North Northamptonshire. The area benefits from relatively close proximity to several schools, including Southfield School for Girls (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Greenfields Primary School and Nursery (rated ‘Outstanding’). Kettering railway station is also within a reasonable distance, providing convenient access to other areas.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in fair condition. While the structure seems sound, some cosmetic updates and potential repairs may be needed in various areas. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, show signs of needing some modernisation. The garden is present but requires significant attention and landscaping.

The list price of £200,000 is notably lower than the average house price in the area (£304,574). However, the property’s condition and the relatively small plot size are factors to consider. Nearby comparable properties on Boddington Road have sold for prices ranging from £91,000 to £269,950, which adds context to the pricing. The lack of square footage data for these comparisons makes a precise price-per-square-foot comparison difficult.

Considering all factors, the property presents a mixed picture. While the location and proximity to amenities are positive aspects, the condition of the property and garden, along with the limited plot size, need to be carefully weighed against the list price. A potential buyer should factor in the costs of renovations and improvements when making an offer.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
