The listed price of £600,000 for a five-bedroom, two-bathroom house with a sizable plot in the Faircross Estate, Barking seems reasonable considering comparable properties in the area. While the lack of sqft data for nearby listings makes a precise comparison challenging, other properties in similar locations with fewer bedrooms and smaller plots are priced in the £475,000-£525,000 range. The larger size, desirable location, and plot size of this property justifies the higher price. The price is not exceptionally low to warrant a higher score but it does seem like a fair value.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be well-maintained and in good condition. There is no obvious sign of significant repair or renovation needs. The interior looks relatively modern and updated in certain areas (kitchens and bathrooms). However, some parts seem to retain older features and decor, which is reflected in the score not reaching ‘excellent’.

The property is situated on Shirley Gardens within the Faircross Estate in Barking, a desirable area known for its family-friendly atmosphere. Proximity to good schools (Eastbury Community School, Manor Junior School, and others rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and relatively easy access to Barking station (c2c line) contribute to its appeal. However, Barking is not considered a top-tier London location in terms of prestige or amenities compared to more central areas. The availability of nearby transportation options enhances the score but doesn’t elevate it to a ‘perfect 10’.

The property boasts a sizeable plot of 27,724.50 sqft, a considerable advantage in a densely populated area like Greater London. The garden appears to be of reasonable size and usable space. However, it is not exceptionally large or feature-rich which limits the score.
