The list price of £500,000 seems reasonably competitive given the location and condition, despite the small size and lack of significant land. Nearby properties on Old London Road show comparable prices, however a lack of square footage information for these properties prevents an accurate per sqft comparison. Therefore, a precise evaluation of value for money needs further local market analysis.

The property appears well-maintained and recently updated, based on the provided photos. The kitchen and bathroom seem modern and in good condition, while the rest of the house displays a clean and updated aesthetic. However, it is a smaller property, and without a full survey it is difficult to comment on the structural condition. Some minor cosmetic updates might enhance the property’s overall appeal.

The property is located in Sopwell, St Albans, which is a desirable residential area known for its proximity to the city centre, mainline train station, and excellent schools. The nearby streets show high average prices, indicating strong demand in the area. The presence of numerous highly-rated schools within walking distance further enhances its desirability.

The property has a small, enclosed rear garden. While usable, it is not extensive. The limited plot size is a factor in the lower score.
