The list price of £280,000 seems reasonable, considering the size and location of the property in the Croydon area. While there’s limited specific pricing data per square foot available in the provided information, it seems to align with general market trends for similar properties in Shirley, Croydon, based on the nearby comparables, although the lack of sqft information on the neighbouring properties needs to be considered. The condition of the property justifies some price adjustment, though the garden and location elements contribute positively.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in reasonable condition. It shows some signs of age and may benefit from some modernisation, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The exterior is largely well-maintained, but some internal updates would likely improve its overall aesthetic and marketability. The photos don’t reveal any major structural issues.

The property is situated in Shirley, Croydon, which benefits from good transport links to London via Southeastern rail services. The proximity to several schools, including Oak Lodge Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Orchard Park High School (also rated ‘Good’), adds to its family appeal. While not in the most central location, its accessibility and local amenities warrant a moderate to high score. The presence of a nearby ‘requires improvement’ school is a factor that lowers the score slightly.

The property includes a substantial rear garden which is a significant positive attribute, particularly for properties in this location. The size and potential for landscaping and enjoyment of private outdoor space justify a higher score. The presence of a garden shed also enhances utility.
