Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Highwoods, Colchester, a residential area with good access to local amenities and transport links. The nearby Brinkley Grove Primary School and The Gilberd School are both highly rated, making the location attractive to families. The proximity to several train stations providing links to Colchester and beyond is also a positive aspect.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in good condition, although some minor updates might enhance its appeal. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but could benefit from some modernisation. The property benefits from a small, easily maintainable rear garden with a decked area.
Considering the list price of £208,000 and the average price of similar properties in the area, the price seems reasonable. While the average price in the area is significantly higher (£319,444), the smaller size and lack of specific square footage information for this property could justify the lower list price. The presence of a garden, while small, adds value compared to properties without outdoor space. However, a comprehensive valuation considering the property’s precise square footage would provide a more precise assessment of its value.
The property’s modern aesthetic and functional layout are attractive features. The images suggest a well-maintained property that is ready to move into. The small garden is a desirable feature for those seeking outdoor space, while the location offers convenience and access to good schools.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
