Property Oracle says ..
Sea Wall, Whitstable is located on the coast and is within easy reach of the town centre and its amenities. The property benefits from being close to several highly-rated primary schools, including Whitstable And Seasalter Endowed Church Of England Junior School and Westmeads Community Infant School, both rated as Outstanding by Ofsted. Whitstable railway station is also conveniently located approximately 1.13 KM away, providing good transport links. The proximity to the sea adds to the desirability of the location, although this might also mean higher property prices.
The property appears to be well-maintained and in good condition. The interior photos show a recently updated kitchen and bathrooms, suggesting that significant renovations have been carried out. There is no evidence of significant wear and tear or the need for immediate repairs. The property benefits from a small, but pleasant, outside space. The small patio area provides a view of the sea.
The plot size is 997.50 sqft, which is relatively small for a property of this type. However, given the coastal location, this is not unusual, and the small, but usable, outside space is a positive.
The list price of £795,000 is significantly higher than the average house price in the area (£404,961). However, the average price per sqft in the area is £398.00, and this property is listed at a higher price per sqft. The higher price is likely due to the property’s prime coastal location, its condition, and the relatively small number of comparable properties available in this area. Nearby properties on Sea Street have sold for similar prices, suggesting that the asking price is not unreasonable, considering the location and condition of the property. However, the lack of sqft information for the comparable properties makes it difficult to draw a definitive conclusion on this aspect.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
