The property is a 3 bedroom semi-detached house located on Marshall Street, Stanley, Wakefield, WF3 4HT. It has a list price of £240,000, and is 780 sqft with a 907 sqft plot size.

The property appears to be in good condition. The images show a recently modernised interior with updated kitchen and bathroom fittings. There is no evidence of significant repairs or renovations required. The garden is well maintained and of a reasonable size for a semi-detached property.

The location is reasonably good. It is within proximity to several primary schools with varying Ofsted ratings, including one rated as ‘Outstanding’. Several train stations are also within a reasonable commuting distance. However, the average house price in the area (£269,625) is higher than the list price of this property, and the average house size is larger (1084 sqft vs 780 sqft). Nearby properties on Marshall Street are significantly cheaper, suggesting this property may be overpriced relative to its immediate surroundings. The average price per sqft in the area is £248, while this property is listed at approximately £308 per sqft.

Considering the property’s condition, location and land size, and comparing it to similar properties in the area, the list price of £240,000 seems slightly high. While the property itself is well-maintained and in a decent location, the price per square foot is above average for the area, and significantly higher than comparable properties on the same street. The higher price may be justified by the recent modernisation and the inclusion of a conservatory, but this needs to be weighed against the smaller size and higher price per sqft compared to the local average.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
