The list price of £178,000 is reasonably priced relative to other properties in the development and similar retirement flats locally. The lack of precise sqft data for comparable properties makes an exact comparison challenging. However, the price appears in line with comparable properties (especially considering this property is a two-bedroom, modernised apartment in a sought-after retirement village) though not an exceptionally strong value proposition.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior looks well-maintained and modern, though some aspects, like the carpeting and furniture are subjective and not necessarily indicative of underlying structural soundness. The exterior is also in presentable condition. However, it is a retirement property and thus there may be less-visible maintenance issues. Therefore a score reflecting reasonable but not exceptional condition seems fair.

The property is situated within The Cloisters retirement village, which offers attractive communal gardens and is described as ‘very sought after’. Its proximity to several schools (Alfred Street Junior, Denfield Park Primary, and others) within a kilometer radius adds to its locational appeal. The lack of readily available price per sqft data for immediately surrounding streets makes precise location valuation difficult but the overall location in Rushden, and particularly within a well-regarded retirement complex is a significant positive. However, the distance to Wellingborough train station (9km) is not ideal for those relying on public transport.

While the property benefits from access to communal gardens within The Cloisters, which appear extensive and well-maintained, it lacks a private garden. Access to communal space is positive but less valuable than having a private outdoor area, hence the moderate score.
