The list price of £400,000 seems relatively reasonable considering the property’s size (1000 sqft), number of bedrooms (4), and apparent condition. Nearby comparable properties, although lacking precise square footage data, suggest a price range in the £300,000-£350,000 range. The higher price of this property may be justified by its updated condition and the potentially larger garden. However, without precise comparable data, a definitive assessment of value is difficult.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior is well-maintained and recently renovated or updated, featuring modern fixtures and finishes. The exterior also looks well-kept and in good repair. There is no visible evidence of significant damage or disrepair.

The property is located in Connaught Gardens, Braintree, which benefits from proximity to several schools (Great Bradfords Junior School, Great Bradfords Infant and Nursery School, and Alec Hunter Academy, all within a reasonable distance) and is also relatively close to Braintree train station, providing convenient access to transport links. The area appears to be residential, suggesting a relatively quiet and family-friendly environment. However, the lack of detailed information on local amenities and the overall vibrancy of the immediate surroundings prevents a higher score.

While the property includes a garden, its size is not specified. The images show a reasonably sized garden with patio area, but it does not appear exceptionally large compared to other properties in the area. The presence of a garden and patio area justifies a score above average, but the lack of precise dimensions prevents a higher score.
