The property is located in Cambridge, a desirable city in the East of England. Brackyn Road is situated close to Coleridge Road, and the property benefits from being within easy reach of several primary and secondary schools, including Ridgefield Primary School and Coleridge Community College, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Cambridge railway station is also less than a kilometre away, providing convenient access to other parts of the UK. The presence of local amenities is not explicitly stated but proximity to Coleridge Road suggests some level of convenience.

The property itself appears to be in need of significant modernisation and renovation. The provided photographs reveal outdated fixtures, fittings, and décor throughout. The carpets show signs of wear and tear, and the kitchen and bathroom require complete refurbishment. The overall impression is one of a property requiring substantial investment to bring it up to a modern standard. The garden is present, however, it appears overgrown and neglected, requiring considerable work to be brought to a usable state.

Considering the property’s condition, the list price of £335,000 appears relatively high compared to the average price per square foot in the area (£531). While the average house price in the area is significantly higher (£467,368), this property is considerably smaller (590.94 sqft compared to the average of 880 sqft) and requires substantial renovation. Nearby comparable properties on Brackyn Road have sold for prices ranging from £85,500 to £350,000, highlighting a considerable price variation which may be influenced by the condition of the properties. The lack of plot size information further complicates the price evaluation. The overall value proposition needs careful consideration given the required investment in refurbishment.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
