The list price of £260,000 seems reasonable considering the property’s location and condition. Comparable properties on Old Hale Way (though data lacks square footage) show a wide price range. The lack of plot size data and inconsistent data in nearby listings makes a precise price per square foot comparison unreliable for definitive pricing. The price is competitive for the area, but there’s room for negotiation based on the need for possible cosmetic improvements.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be in generally good condition. The kitchen and bathroom look recently updated or well-maintained. However, some aspects, such as the slightly dated decor in other rooms, suggest that some cosmetic improvements could enhance its appeal. The overall condition is above average but not exceptional.

The property is located in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, which is a desirable area with good schools and transport links. The proximity to Our Lady Catholic Primary School and Strathmore Infant and Nursery School (both within 0.25km) is a significant positive for families. Hitchin train station provides good access to London and other parts of the UK. However, the specific street, Old Hale Way, may not be as highly sought after as other parts of Hitchin, leading to a score less than 10.

The property has a garden, which is a positive, but the size is not specified and appears to be relatively small compared to other properties in the area. The availability of a garden is factored positively, but its size limits the score.
