The property is a four-bedroom detached house located on London Road in Braintree, Essex. It is a period property requiring significant renovation. The interior features original features such as fireplaces and wood flooring, but these are in need of repair and modernisation. The walls show signs of damage and require redecoration. The carpets and other fixtures are outdated. The property benefits from a conservatory and a sizeable garden. The average house price in the area is £474,231, with an average price per square foot of £449. Considering the property’s condition, requiring substantial renovation, and the need for modernisation throughout, the list price of £845,000 seems high compared to the average price per sqft in the area. However, the presence of original features and the large garden could justify a higher price if the renovation is undertaken to a high standard. The lack of plot size information makes a definitive statement on value difficult. The location is close to Braintree train station, providing convenient access to transport links. Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including St Michael’s Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and St Francis Catholic Primary School (Good Ofsted rating). However, Notley High School and Braintree Sixth Form has a “Serious Weaknesses” Ofsted rating which is a negative factor for families with secondary school-aged children. The proximity to local amenities is not specified.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
