The list price of £800,000 seems reasonably priced but needs more information to reach a conclusive determination. The lack of precise square footage for comparable properties makes a precise per-square-foot comparison challenging. However, considering the property’s size, attractive features (thatched roof, countryside views, sizable garden, and swimming pool), location, and apparent condition, the price aligns with what one could expect to pay for such a property in the area. The relative lack of comparable sales data, especially considering the unusual nature of the property, reduces the certainty and thus the final score. Further, detailed information on the state of the interior could impact this price assessment.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in good condition. It’s a charming thatched cottage that has been well-maintained. The interior images show a recently updated kitchen and bathrooms, suggesting recent renovation efforts. There is evidence of traditional features which have been kept in good order and integrated into the modernised areas. While the property is of some age, the images suggest it’s in good living order, although further investigation would be needed to determine the state of any hidden structural elements, hence not scoring a perfect 10.

The property is located in Burton, Christchurch, a popular village in Dorset. It benefits from proximity to a good selection of local schools (several within a 2km radius, with Ofsted ratings ranging from Good to Outstanding), and is around 2km from Christchurch town centre, providing access to more amenities. While not directly on public transport, Christchurch train station is within a reasonable distance (2.04km). The rural setting offers peace and quiet, which many buyers value highly. However, the limited detail on immediate neighbourhood amenities and its slight distance from the main transport hub hold it back from a perfect score.

The property boasts a substantial garden area, indicated by aerial and ground-level photographs, offering ample space for outdoor activities and relaxation. The presence of a swimming pool further increases the desirability. The accompanying land provides privacy and also countryside views. However, the specific plot size is not detailed in the information provided, meaning the size of the land, relative to other properties, cannot be verified against current market trends. This uncertainty affects the higher scoring range.
