Property Oracle says ..
The property is located on The Leas in Folkestone, Kent. Based on the provided information and images, the property appears to be situated within a desirable area with proximity to the coast and what seems to be well-maintained grounds. The images suggest a good level of upkeep for the building’s exterior. The interior images show a property that appears to be in good condition, with modern fixtures and fittings. However, a more detailed in-person inspection would be needed to fully assess the condition. The property includes a plot size of 1,256.10 sqft, suggesting some outdoor space. The list price of £275,000 is slightly higher than the average price of £257,796 for the area, but considering the property’s size (1000 sqft) and location, it may be considered reasonable. The average price per sqft in the area is £293, making the property’s price per sqft (£275) competitive. The nearby listings show a range of prices, with some significantly higher, suggesting that the list price is within the range of comparable properties in the area. The presence of nearby transportation links (Folkestone Central and Folkestone West train stations) and schools (including highly-rated schools such as The Folkestone School for Girls) further enhances the property’s desirability.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
