The property is located on Whitmore Road in Taunton, Somerset. The area benefits from relatively close proximity to several schools, including Wellsprings Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Taunton Preparatory School and Taunton School, both within approximately 1km. Taunton railway station is also within a reasonable distance at 1.67km, providing access to the Great Western Railway network. This contributes to a convenient location for families and commuters.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in generally fair condition, although some aspects of the interior, such as the kitchen and bathrooms, show their age and could benefit from modernisation. The carpets and wallpaper also appear dated. The exterior of the property is well-maintained. The overall impression is that the property is habitable but could benefit from some updating.

The property includes a garden, which is a desirable feature for many buyers. The size of the garden appears to be relatively modest but provides outdoor space.

The list price of £385,000 is slightly higher than the average price of £326,875 for the area. However, the average price per square foot in the area is £279, and this property is listed at a similar price per square foot. Considering the property’s condition, location, and inclusion of a garden, the list price appears to be within a reasonable range for the market, though perhaps at the higher end. Nearby comparable properties on Whitmore Road itself show a range of prices, suggesting some variability in value even on the same street. The lack of square footage data for the nearby properties makes a precise comparison difficult.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
