The listed price of £280,000 appears slightly high considering the property’s condition and the lack of information regarding the exact square footage and condition of internal spaces. While comparable properties on Vale Road are listed at similar prices, their exact condition and size are unknown which makes direct comparison difficult. The property’s required renovations significantly impact its value.

Based on the provided photos, the property shows signs of age and requires some modernisation and maintenance. While habitable, several aspects, including the somewhat cluttered and dated interior, the exposed brickwork in the basement suggesting potential structural issues, and the overall state of the property’s fixtures and fittings suggest the need for significant work. The garden is relatively small and the external condition of the house shows some need for repairs.

The property is situated in Tonbridge, Kent, which benefits from good transport links via Tonbridge mainline railway station, providing connections to London and other major towns and cities. The proximity to several well-regarded schools, including Tonbridge Grammar School (Outstanding Ofsted rating), adds to its appeal for families. The High Street is also within a reasonable distance, offering various amenities and shops. However, the specific location on Vale Road and the immediate surroundings’ character is not fully described, hence the score isn’t higher.

The property includes a garden, which although visible in photos, appears to be relatively small compared to the property. This limits its score, though the presence of a garden does contribute to a score higher than one.
