    Next door sold for £290k in January last year.

    Unfortunately not the direct comparable, but the one on the right-hand side.

    Probably overpriced as it would need a lot work and money spent on updating it.

    It's just bog standard advice but easy to do:

    Try clearing away personal items, photos, ornaments so people can vision their ideas for the house easier.  

    Have you had any feedback from EAs on why people viewing have not made an offer?

    Those views are beautiful btw

    Have you looked at similar sold prices for the area on Right Move.

    You can use https://www.nationwide.co.uk/house-price-index/ also to work out historical prices to include price drops / increases

    Yes that's what I am thinking. Quite a lot over priced. Trying work how far the garden actually goes down. I downloaded the title plan to help me visualise it

    Yeah, that garden knocks out families with young children - the pictures suggest the little darling would disappear over the edge one day!

    Location isn`t nearly as nice though, but the original one still looks to be overpriced by about 200k.
