The list price of £400,000 for a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bicester seems relatively reasonable when considered against comparable properties (though more specific square footage data for these would improve the accuracy of this assessment). The lack of detailed information on plot size, property specifics and upgrades makes a definitive conclusion difficult. A more detailed comparison with recent sales data in the immediate vicinity is needed to definitively determine value for money. This is a balanced score reflective of that.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in reasonable condition. While it is presented as vacant and neutrally decorated, there are no obvious signs of major damage or disrepair. However, some aspects such as the kitchen and bathrooms suggest they could benefit from some updating to meet contemporary standards. Overall, it’s presentable but not in excellent condition.

The property is located in Bicester, a town with good transport links to Oxford via Chiltern Railways (Bicester North and Bicester Village stations being relatively close). The proximity to several primary and secondary schools with good Ofsted ratings adds to its family-friendly appeal. However, the specific location within Manston Close and its immediate surrounding amenities require more information for a complete assessment. The available data points towards a generally good location, but not exceptional.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive aspect, but the size appears relatively modest based on the provided photos. It’s not particularly large and lacks features that would significantly enhance its score; therefore a moderate score is appropriate.
