Could not find the planning map interface but new build planning seems to be happening. 

Was going to see what the plot actually is because if it is more than just bit in front of the house it is worth adding a boundary plan. 

Did not get time to do a more like this for pricing. 

End terrace with North facing garden and loads of trees to the west says shade, moss and leaves an issue.
Looks like some photos were done early in the day by the shadows. 

Google maps have bollards on the street further down which suggests there may have been parking issues.

I agree with others. Its definitely not link detached, thats really quite a deceiving. 

The photos also appear deceptive and as so many are of the outside, it makes one think the inside is not worthy of photos. I have no idea what the lounge looks like, or a full view of the kitchen diner. Whilst you are getting viewers, the photos may put off potential other buyers. 

I also was shocked at the price as that seems expensive for Rugby. 

Yep, the price is bonkers if we are being honest, especially in the present climate!

Oh no I hate the fact you agree with me !!

I certainly dont say the low values you are suggesting though
Maybe £250k ish

I know Rugby fairly well, just search for houses under 290, 3 or more bedrooms in Rugby there are probably hundreds for sale many are much bigger  If you want to stand out lower the price

Yes, you can get a 4 bed detached in Brownsover.  Show me the 3 beds over 90 sq m in Cawston.

Yes it's a north facing garden - of course I took some back garden photos in the morning! Not the Summerhouse one though - that gets sun all day, something I point out to viewers.
The bollards were installed when the estate was built - they are on the original estate plans - no parking issues
Good tip about the boundary plan - I will add that in, one viewer did ask to see it so I can easily take a photo.

Likely already been said a million times but I would not pay 290 for this house. 230 at most. It is a bit of a weird shape and seem very squashed. It is a nice house still but not for that amount.

200k absolute tops IMO, and that is taking into consideration that we are in a property bubble and people`s sense of value has been twisted for years, and the fact that something sold in the street 12 months ago isn`t really relevant as 12 months is a Universe away in economic terms now.

Oh you do make me laugh - we paid £207k for it in 2012!  

Maybe you overpaid in 2012? Economy was ticking along back then, it isn`t now, when you sell it tell us how much then have your laugh at me, how does that sound?

The usual Crashy BS, house prices were only just starting to recover in 2012. A year or three after that they took off.

Indeed @anotherjoe is correct - when we bought house prices had been stagnant, it's the reason we bought a new build, they were competitively priced.  We rented out our old house and then sold it when the market started rising in 2015.

I wonder if it’s because there is no furniture it’s hard to understand the size of the rooms so once they view it’s smaller than they thought?

The main thing that sticks out to me is that your photos are strange. Just really odd angles. It is certainly not showing it off to its fullest potential.
Photo 10 of your bathroom is pointless, the entranceway isn't being shown off very well for the angle, and what's with the weird "arty" outside shot at the end with the tree? The first photo showing the outside of your property would be better off taken straight on.

I wouldn't be surprised if the poor photography is making people think your house is too small for them.

Otherwise I can see it's a lovely home, no outlandish decoration and it's clean. I haven't dug around on pricing, but your photos need some work. I hope this helps 🙂

The criticisms are all very well but OP is talking about VIEWINGS, so potential buyers have actually seen the property in the flesh as it were. Photos are immaterial in that case.

I'm not sure why people have thanked your comment because it's moot.

There are lots of other houses of a similar spec in Cawston for around £300K that have more square footage than yours.

Ok, so how much will this house sell for?

More than it cost in 2012. Hopefully the OP will be round to tell us at some point soon.

Its hard to generalise areas, but round here (central SE) prices are probably 40-50% above 2012.

Asking prices don`t count...LOL.

I'm talking selling prices. .... "LOL"
