The list price of £280,000 seems reasonably priced in the context of similar properties in the area. While average price per square foot data is unavailable, comparable nearby properties support this. Properties in Shortstown are selling in the £260,000-£300,000 range, with the given property in the middle of the range. However, considering the condition of the property requiring some modernisation, this explains the slight lowering of the score to ⁷⁄₁₀

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be habitable and in reasonable condition. There is no apparent major structural damage. However, the interior shows that some parts, like the kitchen and some rooms, could benefit from an update or modernizing to increase its overall appeal and value. The property shows signs of being lived in and having some wear and tear. This is reflected in the score of ⁶⁄₁₀.

The property is located in Shortstown, Bedford, a village on the south side of the town. Shortstown benefits from proximity to Bedford town centre, providing access to a wider range of amenities. The presence of nearby schools (Eastcotts Cc and Shortstown Primary School) and relatively close proximity to Bedford St Johns train station adds to its appeal. However, it’s not in the most central part of Bedford, meaning travel times to other areas of Bedford and beyond might be longer than properties in more central locations. This explains the score of ⁷⁄₁₀.

The property includes a garden which is a good size for a property in this area. While the exact dimensions are not provided, the photos show a decent sized rear garden for kids and entertaining. There is ample space to extend and develop the garden further. The property also offers off-street parking, which is a desirable feature in many areas. Given the availability of garden and parking this score of 7 is given.
