The one with the nicer kitchen.

You didn't read! It said "two well appointed identical houses in the same
road".

A nice kitchen is over stated. A lot of people assess that a new kitchen is
going to cost 6-10K, or whatever, so are prepared to fit their own in after
buying, to their own design and all brand new, if the rest of the prime
points of a house are attractive.

I personally would rather have a sound house with tatty bathrooms and
kitchen and replace these, as soon as moving in. Nothing worse than a tatty
bathroom and kitchen that someone else has used for years.
