Property Oracle says ..

The property is a semi-detached bungalow located on Vicarage Drive in Kendal, Cumbria. It is situated in a desirable area with good access to local amenities and transport links. The nearby Vicarage Park Cofe Primary School and Ghyllside Primary School both have ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings, making it an attractive location for families. Kendal train station is approximately 2.10 km away, providing convenient access to other parts of the country.

The property itself appears to be in reasonable condition, although some aspects may benefit from modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom show their age and could be updated to enhance the property’s overall appeal. The interior decor is dated, but the structure of the house seems sound. The presence of a garden is a positive attribute, though its size is not explicitly stated. The images suggest a relatively modest garden, but it offers outdoor space.

Considering the average house price in the area is significantly higher (£475,979) than the listed price of this property (£250,000), and the average price per square foot is £265, this property is priced considerably lower. However, the smaller size (764.24 sqft) and the need for potential modernisation should be factored into the assessment of value. The lower price may reflect the need for some updating. Nearby comparable properties on Vicarage Drive range from £166,000 to £248,500, suggesting the listed price is within the range of similar properties in the area, though at the higher end.

Based on the available information, the property presents a reasonable opportunity for buyers looking for a property in a good location that requires some modernisation. The relatively low price point compared to the area average could be attractive to buyers willing to undertake some renovation work.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
