The list price of £285,000 seems reasonably competitive considering the property’s size (1032.5 sqft), location and the presence of a garden. However, the lack of square footage data for comparable properties in the area prevents a definitive conclusion on whether it represents exceptional value. The presence of other properties on Whitewell Close selling for considerably less suggests that additional research is necessary to fully justify a higher rating.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in generally good condition. The rooms seem well-maintained, although some aspects may benefit from modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom seem functional but dated. There’s no obvious evidence of significant repairs needed, hence the score.

The property is located in Ryton, Tyne and Wear, which benefits from good primary schools (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and is within reasonable commuting distance to Newcastle upon Tyne. The proximity to train stations at Wylam and Blaydon, albeit a short drive away, adds to its appeal for commuters. However, the lack of detailed information on local amenities and the distance to other significant locations prevents a higher score.

The property includes a sizeable garden, as evidenced by the photos which show a substantial area of lawn and additional outbuildings. This is a significant advantage over many comparable properties and thus merits a relatively high score.
