The asking price of £260,000 seems reasonably competitive given the available data. Comparable properties on Parklands Drive have sold for similar prices, although more precise comparative data regarding square footage is lacking. However, considering the property’s condition (needing some updating), the location, and the size of the land, the price appears to reflect the current market value adequately.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in reasonable condition. While it is not brand new, or in excellent condition, it doesn’t show significant signs of disrepair. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated, indicating that some modernization might be desired. The overall condition is functional but could benefit from upgrades to bring it to a higher standard.

The property is situated on Parklands Drive in Loughborough, a desirable residential area. The proximity to several well-regarded schools (Sacred Heart Catholic Voluntary Academy, Outwoods Edge Primary School, and Woodbrook Vale School, all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) is a significant advantage for families. The relatively close distance to Loughborough train station also enhances its appeal. While precise distances to local shops are not specified, the overall location scores well based on available information.

The property includes a garden of reasonable size. The photos reveal a manageable lawn, some mature planting, and outbuildings (shed and garage). The size, while not extensive, offers some outdoor space – more than many similar properties in urban areas would offer. The presence of the pond adds a unique and potentially attractive feature.
