Frances Curtis Court is a brand new Retirement Living facility for the over 55's which has been recently completed in Wallingford Oxfordshire
Property Oracle says ..
The property is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment situated in a new retirement living facility. The location in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, benefits from its proximity to several schools, including Wallingford School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and is within reasonable travelling distance of Cholsey and Goring & Streatley train stations. The images reveal a modern, well-maintained apartment and communal areas, suggesting the property is in excellent condition. While the plot size is relatively small at 54.90 sqft, the development includes communal gardens and landscaping, which may compensate for the lack of a private garden. The list price of £195,000 is significantly lower than the average house price in the area (£495,204). However, it’s crucial to note that the average price per sqft (£579) is calculated across a range of property types, including larger family homes, and this property is a smaller retirement apartment. Direct comparisons with nearby properties are limited due to missing sqft data for most of the comparable listings. The available data suggests that while the price may appear low compared to the overall area average, it might be reasonable within the context of retirement apartments in this location. Further analysis would benefit from additional information on the size of the apartment and comparable sales data for similar properties in the development.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
