Property Oracle says ..
This beautiful detached four-bedroom cottage is located in Chequers Close, Cranfield and Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire. The property benefits from being within easy reach of several primary and secondary schools, all with good Ofsted ratings. Shelton Lower School is the closest, at just 0.71km away. The area also has good transport links, with Millbrook train station approximately 2.92km from the property, providing convenient access to Bedford and beyond.
The cottage itself appears to be in excellent condition. The images show a recently renovated interior with modern fixtures and fittings, while retaining many charming period features. The property boasts a well-maintained garden, offering a private outdoor space.
Considering the average house price in the area is £457,016 and the average price per square foot is £347, the asking price of £525,000 for this four-bedroom cottage appears reasonable, especially given its apparent excellent condition and attractive features. Nearby comparable properties support this assessment, although a lack of square footage data for the subject property and its comparables prevents a more precise price per square foot analysis. The presence of a garden also adds to the property’s value.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
