The property is located in Glenfield, Leicester, a suburb with a mix of housing types. The area benefits from relatively close proximity to Leicester city centre and has good access to transport links via the East Midlands Railway, although the specific travel time isnt provided. Several schools are nearby, including The Hall School and Glenfield Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The presence of these schools suggests a family-friendly environment. However, the provided data does not offer a complete picture of the local amenities or the overall desirability of the location.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. The interior decor is dated, and some rooms show signs of wear and tear. While structurally sound, significant cosmetic improvements would be required to bring the property up to a contemporary standard. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, appear to be quite old and could benefit from a full refurbishment.

The property includes a garden, though its size isnt specified, and the images suggest its relatively small. The garden appears to be manageable but requires some attention.

The list price of £290,000 is significantly lower than the average house price in the area (£483,067). However, the average price per square foot is £402, and this property’s size (1,050.02 sqft) suggests a price per sqft of approximately £276. Considering the property’s condition and the need for modernisation, the list price might be considered reasonable, especially compared to the higher average prices in the immediate vicinity. However, the lack of plot size information makes a definitive statement on value difficult. The nearby listings show a range of prices and property types, complicating a direct comparison. More information on comparable properties in similar condition would provide a more informed assessment of the price.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
