    Having another  look it is a housing association.
    https://www.guhg.co.uk/

    17 rental 25 affordable purchase (outline planning was for 24 market 13 social)

    94 car park spaces.

    My guess is the original owners that put the first application in did that to get the planning and increase the value.
    then sold it to the housing association in April 2019 for £3,4m

    17a was know as Pinehurst ivel road,  that throw up more on google.
    DANIELS family ran various interest from there dealing with property investments.

    In that case it is overvalued as a housing association in the back garden devalues the house.  I know that is a snobby thing to say but I am afraid I think it is true.

    It's very close to a river have you looked at flood risk for the area?

    I’m still so torn as to wether or not to put an offer in. Where would you start given you feel it’s overvalued?

    I actually live closer to the same river now and it’s not a problem, it’s sunken with the land around much higher so we haven’t had any issues with insurance / purchasing existing home. I’d be safer in this property than my existing one should there ever be a flood
