The asking price of £600,000 seems relatively reasonable considering the location and the size (1269 sqft) of the property. Nearby properties show a range of prices, with similar four-bedroom houses selling for similar amounts, or more. However, taking into account the condition requiring some renovation or modernisation, the price is good, but not exceptional value for money.

The property shows a mixed condition. Some rooms appear well-maintained, while others, such as the bathroom, require significant updating and modernisation. The overall aesthetic appears dated in several areas. The garden also shows signs of needing attention.

The property is situated on Ongar Road in Brentwood, which benefits from being close to several highly-rated schools such as Becket Keys Church of England Free School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Grove House School (Good Ofsted rating). The proximity to Brentwood station, providing links to London via TfL Rail, also enhances its desirability. While not directly on the high street, it’s within reasonable proximity to amenities. However, the specific quietness of the street and the level of immediate local shops may bring the score down slightly.

The property has a garden, but images suggest it is relatively small and requires landscaping. There is also a shed. The space available is suitable for a house of this size but doesn’t stand out as particularly large or unique.
