While the list price of £700,000 is above the average in some nearby streets, the property’s size (1863 sq ft), condition, and the substantial garden justify this price point. The lack of readily available comparable sq ft pricing data makes a precise comparison difficult, but based on the provided data of nearby house prices, the price appears reasonable, but not exceptionally good value in the context of the current market.

The photos reveal a property that has undergone significant modernisation and renovation. The kitchen extension, in particular, is of high quality. The interior design appears contemporary and well-maintained. While some minor cosmetic updates might be considered, the overall condition is excellent.

Hitchin is a highly desirable town in Hertfordshire, known for its excellent schools, good transport links (with a train station providing access to London), and attractive town centre. The property’s proximity to several highly-rated schools, as shown in the provided data, further enhances its location score. The distance to the train station is also a significant positive.

The property includes a substantial garden with various features including a patio area, a shed, and a play area. Though the exact plot size is not given this is clearly a larger than average garden for a property in this area, therefore a higher score is warranted.
