The list price of £400,000 requires context. The lack of average price per sqft for Old Road necessitates comparison with nearby streets. While Nelson Road offers an average price of £247,650, a direct comparison is difficult due to the absence of sqft data for most properties. The property’s size (1500 sqft) and features (five bedrooms, two bathrooms, large garden and pool) suggest a potentially fair price. However, without definitive local price per sqft data, a precise evaluation remains challenging.

The property shows a mixed condition. While the exterior appears reasonably well-maintained, the interior photographs reveal some rooms needing modernisation or updating. Furniture and personal belongings in images obstruct a comprehensive assessment, yet some areas seem dated. The overall impression suggests the property is habitable but would benefit from some improvements to meet modern standards.

The property is situated on Old Road in Colchester, which benefits from proximity to Clacton-on-Sea’s train station (0.72km) providing links to London Liverpool Street. Several schools are within a reasonable distance, although their Ofsted ratings are varied, ranging from ‘Good’ to ‘Requires Improvement’. While the immediate vicinity’s average property prices and price per sqft are unavailable, the area seems reasonably well-connected. The absence of detailed local amenities information limits a higher score.

The property boasts a significant garden area, including a sizable lawn and what appears to be a substantial, long rear garden (mentioned in the listing as 147ft). It also includes decking and a swimming pool. This provides considerable outdoor space compared to many properties in the area.
