Fitzjohn Estates says ..
The Old Smithy, located on the idyllic village green in Harrold, offers three bedrooms, two excellent reception rooms and a generous kitchen/breakfast room that opens to a private, manicured rear garden. The Blacksmith’s hammer fell silent in 1941, the end of an era for Harrold and its community.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is located on The Green in Harrold, Bedfordshire. Harrold is a village with a strong sense of community, and this property benefits from being situated on a desirable street. The proximity to Harrold Primary Academy (0.25km) is a significant advantage for families, although the school’s “Requires Improvement” Ofsted rating should be considered. Other primary schools with better Ofsted ratings are within a reasonable driving distance. The village setting offers a peaceful environment, but access to more extensive amenities may require a short drive. The lack of nearby public transportation is a factor to consider.
Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It has been recently renovated or updated, with a modern kitchen and bathrooms. The interior is well-maintained and presented to a high standard. The stone exterior is also in good condition.
The property includes a garden, which is a desirable feature in the UK housing market. The garden appears well-maintained and offers a private outdoor space. The size of 2,119 sqft is a reasonable size for a property of this type.
The list price of £800,000 for a 1,981.68 sqft property in Harrold requires further analysis. While there is limited comparable data available, the nearby properties show a significant range in prices. The higher-priced properties in the area, such as those on Vicarage Lane and Walnut Close, are likely larger and may have more desirable features. The price per square foot is not provided for the nearby properties, making a precise comparison difficult. However, considering the property’s condition, location, and land size, the list price appears to be at the higher end of the market for Harrold, but not necessarily unreasonable given the quality of the renovation and the desirable location on The Green. Further research into recent sales of similar properties in Harrold would provide a more precise evaluation.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
