The asking price of £700,000 appears reasonable within the context of comparable properties on Cowper Street and in the Poets Corner area. While similar properties have sold at slightly different prices, this price seems competitive, especially if the recent updates and central location are considered. However, considering the average prices of surrounding streets and lack of plot size data, it’s difficult to definitively determine exceptional value.

The property shows signs of recent renovation or updating in certain areas, such as the new heating system and electrics mentioned in the listing description. However, some areas, particularly the kitchen and bathroom, appear dated and could benefit from modernization. The overall presentation is satisfactory but not luxurious. A neutral tone has been chosen in decor, making it suitable for a broad range of buyers.

Cowper Street in Hove’s Poets Corner is a highly desirable location known for its proximity to amenities, good schools, and transport links. The nearby railway stations provide easy access to Brighton and beyond. Several well-regarded schools are within walking distance, making it attractive to families. The area’s vibrant atmosphere and proximity to the seafront further enhance its appeal.

The property includes a small, manageable garden area that offers some outdoor space. The size is modest, but it’s usable and provides a level of privacy.
