The property is a 2 bedroom apartment located in Writtle, Essex. It is listed at £260,000 and has 1024.70 sqft of living space and a 923.40 sqft plot. The average price for a property in the area is £244,515 with an average price per sqft of £257. The property appears to be in good condition, with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The living spaces are well presented and the photos show a clean and well-maintained property. There is communal outside space and allocated parking. Writtle is a village located close to Chelmsford, providing access to good transport links via the Greater Anglia train line. There are also several well-regarded schools within a reasonable distance, including Writtle Junior School and Writtle Infant School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Considering the property’s condition, location, and size, the list price of £260,000 appears to be slightly above the average price for the area. However, the property benefits from modern fixtures and fittings and is conveniently located near schools and transport links, which may justify the slightly higher price. More information on comparable properties with similar features would be needed to provide a definitive assessment of value.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
