Property Oracle says ..
The property is a detached house with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a total area of 2,291.42 sqft. The plot size is 2,883.65 sqft. The list price is £1,200,000. The proximity to Royston, Meldreth, and Shepreth train stations provides convenient access to rail transport links. Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including Barley (Va) Church of England First School (0.46 KM), which is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The presence of nearby schools enhances the desirability of the location for families. The property appears to be a period property, exhibiting traditional features such as exposed beams and a thatched roof. While some areas appear well-maintained, other areas, particularly the bathrooms, show signs of needing modernisation or renovation. The overall condition is likely inconsistent throughout the property. The swimming pool also appears to be in need of repair. The property includes a substantial garden with a pond and a swimming pool, indicating a generous amount of land. The garden appears well-established and adds to the property’s appeal. The list price of £1,200,000 is significantly higher than the average house price in the area (£782,154). However, the property is substantially larger than the average house size (2,291.42 sqft vs 1,957 sqft). Considering the larger size, the unique features (thatched roof, exposed beams), and the substantial garden, the price may be justified, though it remains at the higher end of the market. A detailed comparison with similar properties in the area, taking into account their condition and land size, would be necessary to make a definitive assessment of the value for money.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
