The asking price of £225,000 seems reasonably competitive considering the property’s location, size, and the presence of a garden. Although comparable properties in the immediate vicinity appear to be priced somewhat higher, the need for modernization is reflected in the pricing. Taking into account the property’s condition and the need for renovation, the price is justifiable for this type of property in Vicars Cross.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in a generally fair condition, although it is dated and could benefit from modernisation. The interior decor is outdated, and some areas (especially the bathrooms and kitchen) show signs of age. While structurally sound, significant updates would be needed to meet modern expectations.

The property is located in Vicars Cross, Chester, an area known for its family-friendly atmosphere and good local amenities. The proximity to several well-regarded schools (Hoole Church of England Primary School, Cherry Grove Primary School, and St Martin’s Academy Chester, all within a reasonable distance) is a significant plus for families. The presence of Chester train station relatively nearby adds to its convenience. While not in the immediate city center, the location offers a good balance of suburban tranquility and access to urban amenities.

The property includes a substantial rear garden, offering good outdoor space relative to comparable properties in the area. Although the garden appears somewhat unkempt in the photos, its size gives it considerable potential. The size scores highly for a semi-detached property of this type in this location.
