Considering the location’s desirability, the relatively large size of the house (942 sq ft) and the presence of a garden, the asking price of £595,000 is at the higher end. However, the extensive renovation work required pulls the price-to-value ratio down. Nearby comparable properties, while lacking complete square footage data, suggest a slightly lower price per square foot would be more competitive in its current state.

The property shows signs of needing significant modernization and updating. While the kitchen and bathroom appear to have had some recent work, the rest of the house requires renovation. The exposed wood flooring and lack of interior finishes indicate this. It’s not in disrepair, but it is far from excellent condition.

Shillington is a desirable village location close to Hitchin, offering a balance of rural tranquility and convenient access to amenities. The proximity to good schools (Shillington Lower School being a good Ofsted rating) further enhances its appeal. While transportation links may not be immediately next door, Hitchin’s rail connections are within a reasonable distance. This makes it a good location for families and commuters, justifying a higher score.

The property has a garden, but it appears overgrown and in need of landscaping. While the size isn’t specified, the photos suggest a moderately sized plot that would benefit from considerable work. The presence of a greenhouse hints at potential for gardening but currently needs attention.
