The listing does not specify the presence of a garden or outdoor space, other than a small balcony. Therefore, the land score will not be considered. The list price of £385,000 is lower than the average price of £477,292 for the area. However, the average size of properties in the area is 794 sqft, while this property is 740.99 sqft. Considering the property’s apparent excellent condition and desirable location near transport links and schools, the price may represent good value.
