The property is located on Stone Street, in the St James’ area of Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Tunbridge Wells is a popular town in South East England, known for its attractive architecture, good schools, and convenient transport links. The proximity to several outstandingly rated primary schools (St James’, St Peter’s, and Claremont) is a significant advantage for families. Tunbridge Wells railway station is within walking distance, providing easy access to London and other major cities.

The property itself is a detached house with a sizeable plot. The images show a garden, which appears well-maintained, albeit with some areas that could benefit from tidying. The house has a traditional style, with some features suggesting it may have undergone some modernisation. The overall condition of the property is fair. While it is habitable and appears clean, several areas, particularly the bathroom, show signs of needing modernisation or updating. The kitchen appears to have been recently updated, but the bathroom is dated and could benefit from refurbishment. This could affect the overall value of the property.

The list price of £850,000 is considerably higher than the average house price in the area (£341,330). However, the property is significantly larger than the average (1224.61 sqft vs 809 sqft). Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £421, and this property’s size, a rough estimate of value based on size alone would be around £515,000. The higher list price reflects the property’s location, size, and the presence of a garden. However, the need for modernisation in certain areas, notably the bathroom, could impact how reasonable buyers perceive the asking price. A detailed survey would be needed to accurately assess the cost of necessary repairs and renovations.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
